"One important dimension of Chinese art in the first half of the 20th century was an emphasis on individualism which emerged in the context of nationalist fervor. At the same time, together with an increased exposure to foreign ideas, there was a sense of identification with the culture of the past. These characteristics came together in a Chinese Christian school of painting which arose in Beijing between the two world wars at the Catholic University of Beijing, but lasted only until 1949. The university was founded by American Benedictine monks from Latrobe, Pennsylvania in 1925. Two years later, the Ministry of Education recognized it under the Chinese name Furen, an expression taken from the Analects of Confucius (Book XII, ch.24) which can be translated "promotion of righteousness."
Luke Chen, a prominent leader of the Furen University painters, in describing this Chinese Christian art form said: "I believe that when I paint the wonders of Christianity according to the ancient rules of Chinese art, the painted object exerts an externally new and unusual effect, so that at the same time I enrich to a marked degree, the old rules of Chinese painting."
The paintings displayed in this exhibit were all painted on silk in Beijing about the 1930s and 1940s. They were brought to France shortly thereafter. In 1992 they were acquired by the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History of the Center for the Pacific Rim at the University of San Francisco. The paintings were mounted on scrolls in Hong Kong through the kindness of the Instituto Cultural de Macau after an exhibit in Macau from November 1994 to January 1995. The Paintings were then displayed at the Missao de Macau in Lisbon from December 1995 to March 1996. Later in 1996 they were exhibited in San Francisco at the Pacific Heritage Museum. The paintings were mounted on scrolls in Hong Kong through the kindness of the Instituto Cultural de Macau after an exhibit in Macau from November 1994 to January 1995.

Later in 1996 they were exhibited in San Francisco at the Pacific Heritage Museum and at Grace Cathedral. In 1998 they were exhibited at the USF Thacher Gallery, and in 2008 they were shown at the St. Aloysius College in Sydney, Australia, for World Youth Day." -- from the exhibit program by Fr. Edward Malatesta, S.J. |
