PROPERTY FROM THE ZHIDAO ZHAI COLLECTION
This selection of Chinese works of art refect the literati sensibilities and intellectual interests of the owner of the Zhidao Zhai (“Studio of the Way of
Determination”), who was a European diplomat and scholar. Through his career he served in several Asian capitals, including in China, in the second half of the
20th century. As a versatile linguist, he wrote extensively on Asian literature and history. His cultural interests led to acquaintances with several artists and academics,
including Fu Baoshi, Pu Ru, Dong Zuobin, and Zeng Keduan.
