[00:11.93]Xu Beihong(1895-1953)was important
[00:17.27]in modern Chinese folk art.
[00:19.85]During his lifetime,he developed the tradition
[00:23.01]of combining poetry,calligraphy with painting.
[00:27.63]Between 1933 and 1940,
[00:31.34]he held several exhibitions in Asia
[00:34.22]and Europe to promote Chinese art.
[00:39.30]Across this painting,named Racing Horse,
[00:42.52]we can see a horse running at high speed.
[00:46.09]On the left and right side of the painting,
[00:49.35]Xu cleverly drew in black ink to show the
[00:52.90]moving hair on the horse's mane and tail.
[00:56.83]He also used different shades of grey
[00:59.66]in a creative way to show the sweat
[01:02.79]along the horse's bady.
[01:05.36]The painting of dark and light colour
[01:07.71]is a favourite of many art lovers.
