:::

The collection of the Lee Tze-Fan Memorial Art Gallery includes approximately a thousand sketches done by Lee Tze-Fan over his career, and 21 have been specially selected for this exhibit. Lee chose subjects that he encountered in everyday life as the basis for his sketches, and his various forms of sketching expressed the varied landscape of his mind and emotions at certain times in his life. The result is a stirring and stimulating new vision for viewers into the natural world and life in general through the eyes and hand of Lee Tze-Fan.

Lee Tze-Fan (1907-1989), dated 14 July 1974
Sketch on paper, 25 x 35.5 cm

Using very abbreviated lines and dashes of color, the artist here did a sketch of temple architecture with boats, trees, and a small hill, to which he added light colors. The floating clouds were rendered with curving lines, which echo the arced lines below for the waves. In all, it creates a naturally beautiful scene of a breezy day with drifting clouds.
