Image Details:
- Wu Guanzhong is a leading master in 20th-century Chinese painting. His distinctive painting style, having successfully assimilated Western techniques of abstraction, is both Chinese in outlook and modern in conception. An intellectual artist who has published many collections of essays and several dozen painting albums, Wu is one of the few Chinese artists to have established a reputation both in China and the West. In 1992 his paintings were exhibited at the British Museum, the first time such an honour has been accorded to a living Chinese artist.
- Wu was born in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, in 1919. In 1936 he enrolled at the National Arts Academy of Hangzhou, studying both Chinese and Western painting under Pan Tianshou (1897-1971) and Lin Fengmian (1900-1991). In 1947 Wu travelled to Paris to study at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts on a government scholarship. He admired Utrillo, Braque, Matisse, Gauguin, Cézanne and Picasso, but especially Van Gogh, to whose grave he made a special pilgrimage.
- Back in China in 1950, Wu began introducing Western art to his students at the Central Academy of Art in Beijing. But the Academy was dominated by Soviet social realism and he was branded "a fortress of bourgeois formalism". Refusing to conform to political dogma, he was transferred from one academy to another, painting in his own style. At the start of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, he was banned from painting, writing and teaching, and in 1970 was sent to Hebei province for hard labour. Later, travelling all over China, he found inspiration in the beauty of nature. Like Van Gogh he painted not just the form, but "with his feelings".

All paintings are carefully packed in tubes for shipping.

- We use Winsor & Newton Oil Color, flavorless polish oil and good quality canvas. Our canvas price is 2 times higher than that of the common. After market research, we found the low quality painting is made of 0.5USD worthy oil color, pungent oil and common canvas.
- For our painting, it commomly takes 3 to 4 days. Because each painting is colored for several times, for some colors can not be drawed on before the former dry. All our painters exert great efforts in their works. We promise our colorful paintings will bring you an unbelievable enjoyment.. But for low quality paintings only major colors are drawed on , with many details neglected, which devaluates its value severely. Click to see more about Quality level
