Elisabeth de Brabant Art Pavilion at 1933
In ‘CUT’, Luo Er Qi developed a dialogue between Eastern and Western traditional art through his controversial manifesto.

With his focus on anatomy and the figure, Luo Er Qi broke this myth of the body’s absence. His works were a progressive vision of the body and corporal fusion.
