About this film

Before going to France to study at the school of Fine Arts, Ming was a painter for Maoist propaganda. His large scale paintings and unique style has made Ming a major figure in the contemporary art world. A classical and academic painter, Ming has revisited many different styles, drawing inspiration from the great masters. After the Louvre, his work is going to be added to the collections of the Petit Palais and the Musée d’Orsay, hanging besides other great masters. This film showcases his consecration: Yan Pei-Ming is a star.
