Shen developed a new formal idiom of calligraphic abstraction in painting, and in his later works, he emphasized picture surface with simple brushwork and flat shapes. Painted at the age of seventy-three, <em>Farewell at a Spring River</em> shows a parting by a riverbank outside the city walls. “Parting at the shore” was a common theme of paintings created as farewell presents to commemorate personal friendships and scholarly fellowship.","remarks":"Asian rotation February 2019"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"&nbsp;–1998&nbsp;John B.
