During AWNY Autumn 2026, Fu Qiumeng Fine Art invites you to discover A Well of Rouge, a Flower of Fortune: Teaching and Learning in Chinese Flower Painting, a thoughtful exploration of how the rich traditions of Chinese flower painting have been taught, learned, and passed from one generation to the next. Bringing together works from the Ming and Qing dynasties through the modern era, the exhibition highlights rare instructional paintings by twentieth-century painter and teacher Li Fenggong alongside exquisite flower paintings that reveal the enduring legacy of this artistic tradition. RSVP for their opening reception this Saturday, September 12, followed by an exhibition walkthrough on Sunday morning!
