Description
Professor Li Hongzhao's "Pear Blossoms" is rendered with smooth ink brushstrokes, capturing the full bloom of a pear branch. The inscription reads, "I can never forget the pear blossoms at the Gongwangfu," revealing a profound affection and memorable recollection of the pear blossoms in Beijing's Gongwangfu, the former site of the Chinese Academy of Arts, where Professor Li once studied. He holds a special sentiment for a particular pear tree in the courtyard there. This painting not only captures the beauty of the pear blossoms but also serves as an expression of nostalgia, conveying the artist's remembrance of better times through the language of flowers, truly reflecting the emotions in the artist's heart.
