Description: Cao Yong "Purple Garden" Original Oil on Canvas Hand Signed Lower Right corner. It was through drawing that Cao Yong found peace and consolation in those difficult years, and at age eleven his talent was recognized. He began studying with the noted artist Yu Ren from Beijing, who worked briefly in Xinxian. The shadow of ostracism followed him even to art classes, but Cao Yong?¢Â?s remarkable persistence challenged him to paint, and to paint better, each day. In order to buy art supplies, he pawned his winter clothes in summer, his summer clothes in winter, and often skipped meals. He painted on any material he could find: scraps of used wrapping paper, newspaper, discarded wooden boards. When his mother brought him a bundle of dirty cloth which she had begged a shop clerk to give to her, Cao Yong burst into tears of joy: at last he had canvas! Condition: Excellent These are very rare originals from Cao Yong simply because the artist never sold these early original works to any gallery. These works and all others we have for sale were acquired directly from the artist & We were close personal friends. May he rest in peace & his masterpiece live on forever!!!
