Hong Ren, who is also known as Hongren, (Chinese: 弘仁; 1610-1663[1]) was an early Qing painter and a member of the Anhui (or Xin'an) school of painting. His birth name was Jiang Fang. After the fall of the Ming dynasty he became a monk, as did Zhu Da, Shitao, and Kun Can. They protested the fall of the Ming dynasty by becoming monks. Hong Ren's style has been said to "[represent] the world n a dematerialized, cleansed version ... revealing his personal peace through the liberating form of geometric abstraction."[2]
