Description

Chang Yu's "Naked Women and Beijing Dogs" is a rare masterpiece with a theme of naked women by the painter in the 1950s. It reshapes the essence of life and protection by portraying the intimate relationship between a prone naked woman and a small dog that protects each other. According to the complete collection of Chang Yu, there are only three oil paintings featuring nude women and puppies, while "Naked Women and Beijing Dogs", as the only one among the three paintings depicting the posture of a reclining nude woman and interweaving abstract background compositions after the war, is a rare museum level masterpiece.
