  • Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford by Shelagh Vainker

    Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Li Juduan was from Xinhui in Guangdong province. He studied Western painting while in Peking as a law student, and on his return to Guangzhou practised as a lawyer. He was a traditional ink painter, and calligrapher, and became head of the art college in Guangzhou. At the end of the Sino-Japanese War he moved to Hong Kong, where he and Lui Shou-kwan (q.v.) later became acquainted. The above paintings are signed Li Yanshan but the inscriptions are all signed Kang Hou or Feng Kang Hou (b. 1899, Guangdong) and most bear his seal. Luofo is in the north of Li Juduan's native province of Guangdong, close to the border with Jiangxi province, and it is possible that the allusion is to this group of twelve fan paintings. All twelve bear the same studio seal.
