Imperial palace art

Long Museum is presenting a solo exhibition of the work of Puru (1896-1963). The artist is a member of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan, and once was a candidate for the throne. His cousin Puyi was chosen to be the last emperor of China. As a prince, Puru was able to access the rich art collection in the imperial palace. With the fall of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), he made a living by selling paintings and calligraphy. He had strongly opposed Puyi's cooperation with the Japanese invaders and moved to Taiwan in 1947. Founder of Long Museum Liu Yiqian is a passionate lover of Puru's art and possesses what is possibly the largest private collection of his work.
