Further details

The famed Indian painter Beohar Rammanohar Sinha, who illuminated the original manuscript of Constitution of India and frescoed Martyr-Memorial Concert Hall, lived in different parts of China between 1957-59 as a scholar but also as India’s cultural emissary. The objective was to forge a robust cross-cultural bridge between two great civilisations through fine arts. While promoting Indian art in China, Rammanohar gained expertise and collected works in Chinese painting and lacquer-work from great contemporary masters firsthand, such as Qi Baishi (1864-1957) and his contemporaries and students, including Chen Banding (1877-1970), Wu Zuoren (1908-1997), Luo Ming (1912-1998), and Li Kuchan (1899-1983). Part of the collection of Li Kuchan paintings were sold at Christie’s in 2021 and 2023.

In 1957, Qi Baishi introduced Rammanohar to Li Keran after which they worked together for some time in the same studio in Beijing. When Rammanohar moved out of Beijing, several paintings were exchanged between him and Li Keran. Some of the works are visible in the accompanying photograph, including the work (Lot 1217) air-drying in the background. Some of Li Keran’s works in the collection were sold at Christie’s 2017 Fall auctions.
