    Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Song Wenzhi was born in Taicang county in Jiangsu province. Originally an art teacher, he studied painting with Zhu Qizhan and Lu Yanshao, and later with Wu Hufan (q.v.), and in 1957 joined the Jiangsu Chinese Painting Academy. He was later deputy head of Nanjing Art Academy and toured the country with Fu Baoshi (q.v.) and other artists in 1960. Song Wenzhi is well known for his work of the late 1950s and early 1960s in which contemporary political trends are reflected in traditional style landscapes, and as a landscapist of the Jiangnan region.
