Xu Beihong was a master of oils and ink. Most of his works, however, were in the traditional Chinese style. In its efforts to create a new national art form, which combines Chinese brush and ink with Western perspective and methods of composition. He integrated firm and bold brush movements with the precise delineation of form.

Of all the painters of the modern era, we can safely say that Xu is the painter most responsible for the direction taken in the world of modern Chinese art.
