@cristobelle56 I have tried to buy all books about Pu Ru from bookstores in Taiwan. Due to copyright owned by his wife and son "exclusively", those paintings are not seen in public and on the Internet. Some are more magnificent than those included here. He was truly "Pu in the North" as a great painter.
@cristobelle56 Yes. It's in the link to the Webpage. In Chinese culture when we talk about someone or something famous, we used to say "A in the North, B in the South" or "A in the West, B in the East." For example, in martial arts we say "Southern Fists, Northern Kicks."
During the 1930s and 1940s, Pu Ru's fame was on a par with that of Zhang Da-Chian ( 張大千 ). When people spoke of accomplished painters, they often referred to "Zhang in the south and Pu in the north ( 南張北溥 )."
@cristobelle56 You may search 南張北溥 in Google Image. There are many stories about those two painters. 張大千 was the best known and best-selling Chinese painters of the last century. If you Google "Zhang Daqian" there are many free pictures of him.
Thank you for making this beautiful slide show of great works by Pu Hsin-Yu. I will check out more paintings at your website. Best,
