Charles Chu (1918-2008)
Camel
Framed, Chinese Ink on Rice Paper, 26 x 13 in., ( 66 x 32cm.)
This camel was commissioned by the editor of the Connecticut College Magazine. It is a representation of the college mascot and not only represents the simplified literati style, but has a sense of humor frequently found in scholarly paintings.
