The artwork, titled “Pink Leopard,” was created by the artist Sanyu in the year 1940. It falls under the genre of animal painting.
In this artwork, Sanyu presents a minimalist depiction of a leopard, rendered with a predominantly pink hue adorned with characteristic spots. The leopard is positioned against a starkly contrasting background that appears to be comprised of broad brushstrokes in various shades of grey and black. The overall composition exudes an ephemeral and almost surreal atmosphere, with the leopard seemingly floating in a nebulous space, evoking a sense of tranquility and isolation. The simplicity and elegance of the leopard contrasted with the abstract background serve to highlight Sanyu’s unique artistic vision and emphasis on form and color.
