Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Li Keran was born in Xuzhou in Jiangsu province. He attended art school in Shanghai at the age of fifteen, graduating in 1925, and later studied at the National Academy of Art in Hangzhou where his courses included sketching and oil painting. He spent somet time in Chongqing, Sichuan, during the Sino-Japanese War and in 1947 went to Beijing, where he spent ten years as a pupil of Qi Baishi (q.v.); he was also taught by Huang Binhong (q.v.). He himself taught at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He had a successful career as an artist until the Cultural Revolution, and painted again from the late seventies until his death a decade later.
