19972381997. Lin Jian. <p><br /> ABOUT THE ART <br /> <br /> Acclaimed and immensely talented Chinese artist renowned and collected all over the world for his Realism and Hyperrealism masterpieces. This is one of the finest examples of his celebrated work.</p> <br /> <p>Painted circa 1990-2000. Oil on canvas. Provenance: This was a commissioned piece by an American fine art collector so he signed his name in English versus the traditional Chinese characters he traditionally employs when selling to the Chinese market.</p> <br /> <p>The painting is the finest landscape I’ve ever had the pleasure to own and sell: The attention to detail technical mastery of scale perspective detail use of space balanced aesthetic of the composition use of both light and shadow and realistic portrayal of rocky mountaintops and snow the latter extraordinarily hard to achieve is masterful.</p> <br /> <p>The art is in excellent condition - just a few areas of natural craquelure. NOTE: the painting was up against a chair when I took a picture of the back of the canvas. There is no dent. The frame is in excellent as-new condition.</p> <br /> <p>I recently commissioned for this custom Italian brown-gilt wood frame to be hand-constructed for this spectacular painting to complement and augment the colors of the mountains and the shimmering sun reflecting off the craggy mountains and wind-swept snow.<br /> <br /> ABOUT THE ARTIST</p> <br /> <p>Lin Jian was born in 1973 in Fujian Province located in the Southeastern part of China. He began to paint when he was only four years old and graduated from Xu Beihong Fine Arts Institute. For many years he has devoted himself to oil painting the Yellow River - his most revered and sought work in China. With each of these works of art through the beautiful scenery of Yellow River Lin Jian displays the Chinese spirits and history and expresses his devotion for the mother river. His paintings are warmly welcomed and highly collected throughout the soles particularly in mainland China Taiwan Hong Kong and the United States.</p> <br /> <p>In 1996 Lin travelled throughout the US and took many photographs of the places he wanted to paint. He enjoys painting in large sizes on a grandiose scale. I do not know if this is of a mountain range he encountered on his trip to the US or of a famous mountain/mountain range in China.</p> <br /> <p>Frame: 54†x 42â€</p> <br /> <p>Art: 48†h x 36†w</p> <br /> <p>Your new work of art will be packed with the utmost care and fully insured with signature required upon delivery for your protection.</p> . unknown
1967151615Beijing: Beijing mangwen chubanshe 1967. A scarce Braille edition of the revolutionary wisdom of Mao's "closest comrade in arms" First edition in Braille first printing one of 500 copies of this collection of sayings by Lin published to ensure nobody was exempt from his burgeoning cult of personality. Editions of Lin's writings transformed him into China's number two fountain of ideological wisdom with a power base that would eventually rival that of Mao himself. Scarce with no copies recorded institutionally. The Chinese government had introduced a uniform Chinese Braille system in 1953 and by the mid-1970s there were over 170 organisations in China catering to the blind which all required copies of the latest propaganda publications. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution Beijing mangwen chubanshe Beijing Braille Press was one of just two publishers in the country with the facilities to produce Braille books and it shouldered the task of producing the majority of translations including the present work. The high cost of production for works in Braille due to the large quantity of paper required was subsidized by the state rather than passed on to customers through the retail price demonstrating the state's determination to ensure that the Cultural Revolution's cult of personality touched all state subjects. This selection of quotations from Lin was first published in Chinese the preceding year. As the driving force behind the growth of the Mao cult Lin Biao inevitably accrued a level of political power and influence that left him in day-to-day control of a large swathe of China's government and party bureaucracy. His policy statements and speeches received extensive coverage in state media while at rallies and political meetings he wielded political legitimacy flowing from his unique association with Mao. As Lin's status as Mao's chosen successor grew so did his cult with collections of his speeches and utterances printed to further study of his contribution to the Cultural Revolution's various ideological "breakthroughs". Eventually Lin's personal prestige became too much for Mao. In 1971 he mysteriously died in a plane crash while fleeing with his family to the Soviet Union. Overnight he vanished from the history books. 2 vols quarto. Original brown card wrappers title and five-pointed star to spines and front covers in red. Housed in custom red cloth folding cases. Wrappers marked and with some paste-staining stain to margins of first and last few leaves in vol. II contents otherwise clean. Overall a very good copy of this poorly produced book. hardcover

1967151630Wuhan: Wuhan jixie xueyuan geming weiyuanhui & Gangersi Wuhan jixie xueyuan zongbu 1967. Lin Biao has provided the most comprehensive most correct most scientific and most lofty analysis of our most most beloved leader Chairman Mao Second edition first printing of this uncommon pseudo-"Little Red Book" which was not commercially distributed. Compiled in one of the hotspots of the Cultural Revolution it was designed to establish Lin as China's foremost leader apart from the Chairman himself. Lin's growing power and cult of personality made him a force that Mao would eventually have to reckon with. The first edition of Quotations from Comrade Lin Biao was published in Wuhan in December 1967 only a few months after armed conflict among different Cultural Revolution organisations in the city had come close to descending into a state of civil war. For the organisations involved in the compilation of this work it demonstrated their loyalty to the leadership in Beijing and courted the support of Lin and the People's Liberation Army. Shortly before the first edition went to press a high-level document outlining preparations for the Ninth Congress of the Party stressed the need to increase Lin's prestige as Mao's heir-apparent and most ardent follower. This second edition quickly followed a few weeks later to answer this call and included an additional preface heralding the widespread enthusiasm for the first edition. The present work states that "Comrade Lin Biao has provided the most comprehensive most correct most scientific and most lofty analysis of our most most beloved leader Chairman Mao and the ever-victorious Mao Zedong Thought. Comrade Lin Biao was personally cultivated by Chairman Mao. In the long experience of our Party he is the most outstanding politician thinker military leader and theoretician. He is the closest comrade-in-arms of Chairman Mao" pp. i-iii. Following an obligatory picture of Mao a second frontispiece reprints a famous image of Mao and Lin walking side by side - the "helmsman" with his hand-picked successor. Duodecimo. With 2 frontispieces epigraph title page and facsimile of Lin Biao's calligraphy printed in colour. Original red vinyl title to front cover in blind. Contemporary ownership inscriptions to free endpapers. A few marks to vinyl small dampstain to free endpapers contents slightly foxed. A very good copy. unknown

1973221164China. Circa1973-1976. Original colour propaganda cartoon painted in colour on paper 39.5 x 16.8cm. Minor wear at extremities with a little loss some closed tears across centre horizontal fold neatly repaired on the verso with washi paper. Image very clear. In good condition. This striking anti-Confucian cartoon directly attacks what were seen as obsolete and corrupt values. The intended targets are clearly signalled: “lackeyism” the “restoration of the emperor” and traditional Confucian ethics identified in the inscriptions on the flag and in the smoke rising from the yellow gourd. At the figure’s feet lie red cards bearing the Confucian virtues of loyalty propriety righteousness and benevolence now trampled and discarded. The central figure kneels in an outdated pose of submission marked by a top-knot hairstyle tied with ribbons archaic shoes and a long beard – all deliberate allusions to a feudal past. His red nose suggests moral corruption or weakness. Scattered yellow cards marked with black dots likely symbolise bribery corruption or collaboration with foreign powers. Together these elements create a damning image of a morally bankrupt backward-looking order. <br> <br>The cartoon was almost certainly produced during the “Criticise Lin Criticise Confucius” campaign of 1973–76 when traditional Confucian values were denounced as obstacles to revolutionary progress. . unknown
