  • Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum by Weimin He and Shelagh Vainker

    Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum

    The keynote of my prints is: solid, black and white, and the south.

    Zhang Huaijiang (original name Zhang Longchao) began to work with woodcuts in 1938, under the direction of Zheng Yefu (1909–1973). From 1942 to 1946, he successively studied at the Wenzhou Normal School, the South-East United University and the Shanghai School of Art. He was appointed a teacher in the Department of Printmaking at the National Academy of Fine Arts in 1954 but was forced to suspend creative work during the Cultural Revolution. A prolific artist, his woodcuts are mostly monochrome and his subject matter is largely drawn from the southern region of China.
