James Rothschild, heir of Rothschild family, added Chinese artist Huang Yue's color ink painting into his collection on Sept 7, 2015.

Chinese artists have a traditional way of using ink paintings to express the beauty of flowers and birds, but artist Huang Yue carries on the tradition with Western-style oil and color ink.

Huang Yue's paintings exist somewhere between the Chinese traditional ink paintings of flowers and birds and the Western-style oil paintings, and it's completely new and innovative.

Nearly 20 of Huang's pieces have become a part of the Rockefeller family's collection. Steven C. Rockefeller Jr. and Kimberly K. Rockefeller both spoke very highly of Huang's work.
