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

    Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Li Kuchan was born in Gaotang, Shandong province and moved to Peking in 1919. He studied painting at the After Hourse Painting Research Society (yeyu huafa yanjiu hui), where he met Xu Beihong, and subsequently at the Peking Academy, where he was influenced by Qi Baishi. He graduated in 1925. He also studied Western art with the Czechoslovakian professor Vojtech Chytil. He taught Chinese painting at Hangzhou and then in Beijing, though he always retained his early interest in Western painting.
