A SCENE FROM 'JOURNEY TO THE WEST', BY PU RU (1896-1963)China. Ink and watercolors on paper, laid down on paper. Depicting the monkey king Sun Wukong and another monkey in a vicious fight, each holding a long staff and standing in a dynamic pose on a bridge next to a crashing waterfall, with Zhu Bajie watching nearby.Inscriptions: Top left, inscribed 'Journey to the West', signed 'Pu Ru'. One seal of the artist, 'Xinshe'.Provenance: British trade. Condition: Very good condition with only minor wear and soiling.Dimensions: Image size 16.4 x 8.1 cm, size incl. backing 30.4 x 15.8 cmThe present painting depicts a famous scene from Journey to the West (Xi You Ji), in which Sun Wukong is fighting a six-eared macaque who was impersonating him. Eventually, Sun Wukong vanquishes his doppelganger. Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is a legendary mythical figure who also appears in many later stories and adaptations. In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven, he is imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha, until he joins Tang Sanzang in his quest. Sun Wukong possesses many abilities, including amazing strength and extreme speed. Sun Wukong also acquires the 72 Earthly Transformations, which allow him to access 72 unique powers, including the ability to transform into sundry animals and objects. He is a skilled fighter, capable of defeating the best warriors of heaven. His hair has magical properties, capable of making copies of himself or transforming into various weapons, animals, and other things. He also shows partial weather manipulation skills and can stop people in place with fixing magic.Journey to the West (Xi You Ji) is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is regarded as one of the greatest Classic Chinese Novels, and has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia. The novel is an extended account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who traveled to the 'Western Regions' (Central Asia and India) to obtain Buddhist sacred texts and returned after many trials and much suffering. The monk is referred to as Tang Sanzang in the novel. The novel retains the broad outline of Xuanzang's own account, Great Tang Records on the Western Regions, but adds elements from folk tales and the author's invention: Gautama Buddha gives this task to the monk and provides him with three protectors who agree to help him as an atonement for their sins. These disciples are Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, together with a dragon prince who acts as Tang Sanzang's steed, a white horse. The pilgrims journey towards enlightenment through the power and virtue of cooperation.Pu Ru (1896-1963), also known as Pu Xinshe, was a traditional Chinese painter, calligrapher, and nobleman. A member of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan, the ruling house of the Qing dynasty, he was a cousin to Puyi, the last Emperor of China. It was speculated that Pu Ru would have succeeded to the Chinese throne if Puyi and the Qing government were not overthrown after the 1911 Xinhai Revolution. Pu Ru was reputed to be as talented as the famous southern artist Zhang Daqian. Together, they became known as 'Pu of the North and Zhang of the South'. Pu Ru fled to Taiwan after the Communist Party of China came to power and was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as a Manchu representative at the Constitutional National Assembly. In Taiwan, he made a living selling paintings and calligraphy, and taught as a professor of fine arts at the National Taiwan Normal University.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: China Guardian, Beijing, 20 November 2010, lot 484Price: CNY 280,000 or approx.

* Meyer (John, 1942-). Back from the Sneeuberge, 2016, acrylic and mixed media on canvas, signed lower right, signed, titled, and inscribed on the stretcher, 115 x 155 cm (45 1/4 x 61 ins), deep recessed black frame (119 x 158 cm)QTY: (1)NOTE:South African painter John Meyer is best known for his realistic depictions of landscape, genre scenes, and portraits. Born in 1942 in Bloemfontein, South Africa, he went on to study at Johannesburg Technical College School of Art before working in advertising and as an illustrator in London. He then returned to Johannesburg where he lives and works.The South African landscape has long been a source of inspiration for Meyer. The present, monumental landscape, suffused with light, is executed in his characteristic hyper realist style – in his words ‘One could say I'm obsessed with the magical properties of paint, with the process that allows for and unlocks the magic.’Meyer's work has been exhibited internationally, most recently at Circa Gallery in Johannesburg (2021), the Saatchi Gallery in London (2018), and the Everard Read Gallery in London, Cape Town, and Johannesburg (2008 –2021). In 2015, Lost in the Dust – a body of fifteen works addressing the effects of the Anglo-Boer War – was exhibited at Everard Read (Cape Town and Johannesburg) and Bonham’s (Edinburgh).
