Considered a modern master in China, his merging of Western techniques with classic Chinese approaches was unmatched. He advocated the subordination of technique to artistic conception and emphasizes the importance of the artist's experiences in life. He is particularly known for his shuimohua depictions of HOURSES and BIRDS. The Eight Horses is one of the most famous work of art in Chinese. Xu Beihong, the most famous horse painter in China of the 20th century, once studied fine arts in Japan and France. He painted horses not because it catered to the needs of politics, but because he had loved to paint them since childhood. Fine horses were the theme of his whole life. The galloping horses drawn by Xu Beihong all look animated, but their refined and elegant characteristics go beyond those of real horses. In Chinese eyes "these galloping horses are not wild horses. They have both a dragon and a human nature. They are running and stampeding, free of all restraints. They are an image of imagination. It is a synthetic characteristic symbol, a symbol of freedom, a symbol of rising, a symbol of the Chinese nation on the point of lifting its head."
