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

    Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Huang Zhou was born in Li Xian, Hebei province. He started painting at an early age as a pupil of Zhao Wangyun (q.v.). In 1955 became a professional painter, having spent six years in the People's Liberation Army as a reporter in the northwest border region; the national minority peoples of that area became a leading subject in his paintings. His interest in early paintings resulted in a fine collection of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing works.
