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

    Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Guan Shanyue was born in Yangjiang in Guangdong province. During the 1930s, having graduated from Guangzhou Provincial College of Education, he studied painting with Gao Jianfu (q.v.) at the latter's Chunshui Art Studio, and may be regarded as a Lingnan School painter. Though most of his life was spent in Canton, where he held several senior academic positions, he travelled widely within China and worked reguarly with Fu Baoshi in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He also travelled abroad. Guan is known for plum blossom and figure paintings in addition to landscapes.
