• Lot n° 3029 Pan Shixun (b. 1934) "Spring Plowing and Feeding the Cattle," 1989 Oil on canvas Signed in English and Chinese, and dated, lower right: Pan 1989; signed again and titled in Chinese, and also dated again, all verso 38" H x 65" W Other Notes: Pan Shixun is another important artist who used his Chinese academic realist training to imbue depictions of China's minority groups with new levels of sensitivity and empathy. Born in Jilin in 1934 and a member of the Manchu ethnic group, Pan graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1960, where he studied under Wu Zuoren, one of the early masters of oil painting in China. He later became a professor at the Academy, where he played a pivotal role in introducing Western art into the official curriculum. Beginning in the 1960s, Pan made regular trips to Tibet, often staying in remote areas to observe and sketch rural Tibetan life. These journeys became the foundation of much of his art. As he noted, "Truth is not only about the trueness in paintings, but also about conveying the beauty and touching things in life." In 2019, the Central Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum honored Pan with a major career retrospective, "Seeking Truth through Toughness, Taking the Truth as a Teacher – Pan Shixun's Sketches and Oil Paintings," which highlighted his legacy as both an educator and a champion of direct observation from life.
