Chen Yifei is an extremely interesting artist because of his works during the rule of Mao as well as his shift in style after Mao’s death. To get a better understanding of Yifei himself I have been using the webpage www.artnet.com. Artnet has been very helpful as it gives a general biography for main points but it also gives a longer, more in depth review of Yifei’s life as well as his art. This webpage also has all of Yifei’s paintings with information on the medium, size, title and date of creation so that I can determine when he changed his style after Mao’s death and started to focus on his own style of realistic portraits, fashion and cinema.
