Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum
I love making pictures, love producing them one by one, endlessly. The more I paint, the more I love it, so interests increase, and I am satisfied with it.
Yang Chunhua grew up in Shanghai, and began to make prints as a child, under the direction of her father, the printmaker Yang Han (b. 1920). In 1976, she graduated from The Nanjing College of Arts, in 1980 receiving a Master’s degree from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Her work spans a wide range of media and subject matter, but she is especially well known for the depiction of flowers and antique female figures, using a water-soluble ink printing technique, first developed in Nanjing during the Ming dynasty. The practice of literati painting has also informed her woodblock prints.
