Portrait of a Man
Liu Dan 劉丹, born 1953, Nanjing, China; active United States and Beijing
2009-119
Liu Dan’s Portrait of a Man, based on a photograph, was drawn for an exhibition of works by the Chinese artist Mu Xin. Sketched in red chalk on an antique piece of paper, using techniques that harken back to masters of the European Renaissance and Baroque periods, this drawing exhibits the skill at portraiture that marked Liu Dan as a prodigious artist from his teenage years onward.
