Chi Kang, Private Collection Book Cover

By Katherine Irene Chou

To encounter the works of Chi Kang (季康) is to experience history unfolding in the natural flow of the traditional guó huà (國畫) painting style, one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Chi Kang’s freehand brushwork stands unparalleled in the level of detail, control, and power conveyed in each of his strokes. He was a prolific painter creating over 5000 unique works, but he is best known for his portrayal of “Horses”, “Orchids”, and “Maidens” also referred to as Chi Kang’s three masterstrokes (季康三絕).

This book presents to the reader many of the unseen bodies of work that have been kept in Chi Kang’s private collection along with its historical context, inspiration, and relationship to the artist’s life; each as a piece of living history. The reader will have a chance to closely study how guó huà artistry developed in the 19th century throughout works from not just an artist, but also a man of inauspicious origins whose passion for art long succeeded the adversity of a very turbulent era in China.

The book sections follow a chronology of how Chi Kang as an artist was able to experiment, adapt, and breakthrough societal conformity and traditions without ever abandoning his roots and values in beauty, integrity, spirit, and family.
