Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Qian Shoutie was from Wuxi in Jiangsu province, though he was active in Shanghai. In his youth he was apprentice in a stele-carving workship; he was also interested in seal-carving, for which he became well-known, and was an acquaintance of Wu Changshuo (q.v.). He was also interested in ancient calligraphy. In 1923 he went to Japan. He was involved with numerous painting societies and after 1949 taught at the Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy.
