The artist Sanyu, acclaimed as the "Thigh of the Universe."

Sanyu had a special fondness for painting the human body, and he once openly confessed to the poet Xu Zhimo: “My original motivation for learning to paint was this curiosity about the secrets of the human body.” Xu Zhimo greatly appreciated Sanyu’s work and praised his fleshy women’s legs as the “Thighs of the Universe.”

In the roaring era, the most carefree and unrestrained souls.

Sanyu’s artistic style carries the spirit of “calligraphy in painting,” employing modern techniques to depict a variety of subjects. In his early works, he used soft and flowing lines and a palette of pale, romantic colors, exuding a sense of joy. As his life experiences and years spent abroad influenced him, Sanyu’s later works featured richer Eastern colors, and his depictions of animals in vast landscapes often resembled reflections of his own persona.

His works are imbued with traditional Eastern decorative elements, blending techniques from both Eastern and Western aesthetics, forming Sanyu’s unique artistic charm. He often employed simple yet powerful lines, form, and contours to exhibit a distinctive personal style. His paintings are characterized by their concise shapes and pure colors, with three main themes: nude figures, plant and floral motifs, and landscapes featuring animals.

In 1964, Sanyu was invited by the Ministry of Education to come to Taiwan to teach and hold a solo exhibition at the National History Museum. Unfortunately, the plan didn’t materialize, and in 1966, he passed away in Paris due to unforeseen circumstances. He had spent most of his life in Paris and, to this day, Sanyu is recognized as a prominent master of modern Eastern art. In 2005, the Musée national des arts asiatiques-Guimet in Paris organized a major retrospective exhibition, solidifying his international status as an important member of the Paris School of painting.
