Eulogy to the Yellow River, a Monumental Landmark Work by Chen Yifei under Hammer Now
2013-12-13



It was revealed this week that the internationally acclaimed artist Chen Yifei’s monumental work, Ode to the Yellow River, will be auctioned this May during China Guardian Auction Co., Ltd.’s Spring Auction. This is the first monumental work of Chen Yifei’s early years that the artist completed by himself and it is also the work that focused the attention of the arts world on this influential artist. Equally as important, Chen Yifei identified it as a ‘most glorious work.’

At 297cm long and 143.5cm high, this massive work was completed in 1972. At that time, Chen Yifei was 25, and was the head of the Shanghai Oil Painting and Sculpture Studio Group. Eulogy to the Yellow River was visually constructed with built-up sections of paint and highly apparent brushwork. The sun’s rays illuminate the soldier’s leg and extended foot as well as the cliff face, and their execution with a palette knife in thick accumulations of color strengthens the impact of the image exponentially. That, along with the bright colors, with their resplendent gilding, are the embodiment of the skills that Chen Yifei received from his strict Soviet painting education. At the same time, the inventiveness and agility of Chen Yifei’s abilities to absorb and innovate are present in the compositional structure of Eulogy to the Yellow River, and indeed in each and every stroke.

This work first appeared publicly in 1977, at the United Armed Forces Fine Arts Exhibition. It’s composition, color and technique captured the attention of a large group of the arts community and established Chen Yifei’s place in Chinese art history. It was so influential that twenty years later, when well-known art world figures such as Wang Qi and Cai Ruohong wrote in celebration of Chen Yifei for his retrospective exhibition, this work was mentioned as an unforgettable masterpiece of his early work.

The well-known artist Chen Danqing has also written about his first experience seeing this painting, “Standing in front of the giant canvass Yellow River…,I must have been eighteen then, my only feeling was: I also need to paint grand oil paintings!”

Even after he had become a well-known and internationally acclaimed artist, Chen Yifei remembered the “single red army soldier sanding on the precipice, grinning over the landscape…the feeling of light across the blazing bright peak made the canvas glow, and the romance of the scene became dazzling. In the red army soldier’s rifle shoulder strap was a little piece of red fabric, like a blossoming fresh flower, under his feet was an angled row of geese in flight. I felt it was so beautiful, and heroic, as well as romantic.”

Time passes on, things change, and the appearance of the great painter Chen Yifei’s work Eulogy to the Yellow River in China Guardian’s 2007 Spring Auction will be sure to make a repeat impact on arts world and social circles. It will also make appearances in Shanghai as well as Qingdao at the end of April for China Guardian’s auction preview series.
