Cat. Ink on paper, mounted as hanging scroll. Signed Wei. With 2 seals. Visible paper size: 75 x 24cm (29 1/2 x 9 1/2 in.) Provenance: Collection of well known Canadian artist, patron and collector Leo Rosshandler (b. 1922). Mr. Rosshandler's career started in Europe and moved from Mexico City to Manhattan before finally settling in Montreal. Assistant director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in the seventies (to which he has donated the larger part of his vast collection of pre-Columbian art) and later director of the Lavalin Collection until 1989. C. C. Wang, C. T. Loo and other major players in the world of 20th-century Chinese art were great friends of his, and helped to develop Leo’s literati taste in Chinese classical painting. Two great Ming masterpieces by Zhu Da 朱耷 (Ba Da Shanren 八大山人) left Leo’s collection in the 1980’s, sold by Sotheby’s New York, and more recently many others have been donated to museums in Canada. This small eclectic group represents the last few works that the Rosshandler’s treasured for sentimental and artistic reasons.
