	673.	Eating Self-Praise Proclamations: original oil painting on canvas by Yi Xing Ma, 1994-96 This is the third in a suite of four paintings, inspired by Ma's move from Hangzhou to Shanghai, in the mid-1990's. They are dark, surrealistic, and deconstructed, conveying Ma's feelings at the time. In this one, Ma expresses his distaste for words and people who engage in self-praise: the self-important people he has met in his world of art, collectors and politics. He explained to us that, in his view, all living things, great and small, are equal, and there is no cause to be so self-important. These are just part of the things that Ma was contemplating when he was making the transition fro his old world to the new. A Shanghai cityscape is demured in the lower left background. We offer the entire suite of four paintings for $240,000. To see the other three paintings in the suite or to see other art by Yi Xing Ma (Ma Yi Xing), included in the Leona Craig Gallery on-line, please, visit the Yi Xing Ma Page.		$62,500	91x60cm

	634.	Memory of Chongqing, original watercolor painting by Jin Ming Li (1983) 重庆的记忆 When Li visited this part of the old town, in Chongqing, he only had a pen, so, he sketched it in and finished when he got home. This section of town is called Chao Tian Men, which is hilly, as you can see, is bounded by two rivers, and had an old dock, near this scene. Li Jin Ming, a student of Xu Jian Bai, was trained as an impressionist but began moving into a more expressionistic style after Deng Xiao Ping opened up China, in the late 1970's, after Mao's death. We offer several works by Jin Ming Lee (Jin Ming Li), in the Leona Craig Art Gallery on-line. To see our current offerings, just click on: Jin Ming Lee Page.			13x14cm

	609.	Pingshi landscape: original oil painting on canvas by Jian Bai Xu (1985) This is one of three paintings of the Pingshi cliffs area in Guangdong Province, in the Leona Craig Gallery. Two were painted by the artist, and the other was painted by her husband Xue Sheng Tan (Tan Xue Sheng). In all of them, you can see that the area has dramatic views. Both Jian Bai Xu and her husband were students of Lin Feng Mian (Feng Mian Lin), who was part of the original Western-style oil painting movement, in China, in the early 20th century, and was part of the so-called Hangzhou School of painting. For more of the art of Jian Bai Xu (Xu Jian Bai), please, visit the Jian Bai Xu Page of the Leona Craig Gallery on-line.		$18,500	40x55cm

	180.	Tropical Paradise: Xiang Xiu style Chinese hand-embroidered landscape This scene could be in Florida, Hawaii, California, or any other tranquil tropical getaway with palm trees and quaint cottages. The blue skies with a few puffy clouds, the bushy gardens, the picket fence and the whitewashed wooden houses make the scene even more inviting and bucolic. It makes you wish that you were really there, and having this beautiful embroidery piece hanging on you wall will let your mind take you there whenever you look at it. It was made in the Xiangxiu style at an embroidery studio, in Hunan. Matted and framed, under glass, as shown, 59 x 47 cm. To see more of the Xiangxiu embroidery art, included in the Leona Craig Art Gallery, online, please visit the Xiangxiu Embroidery Page.		$350	59 x 47 cm

	676.	Typhoon Coming: original oil panting by Xue Sheng Tan, 1983 This is one of two paintings, in the gallery, with this title. In south China, where some of our artists paint, typhoons are very common. Of course, typhoons are not unknown in the more northern coastal regions of China, either. In Tan's painting, the waves are coming fast, the sky looks ominous, and the fishing trawler seeks shelter behind a seawall. As always with Tan, the colors are wonderful and are so apt at impressing the feeling of the scene. /to see more of the art of Xue Sheng Tan (Tan Xue Sheng), included in the Leona Craig Art Gallery on-line, please, visit the Xue Sheng Tan Page.		$11,000	53x38cm
