Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Xie Zhiliu was from Wujin in Jiangsu province. From his youth he was an associate of Zhang Daqian (q.v.), becoming close to him when they were together in Chongqing from 1937 onwards during the Sino-Japanese War, along with many other artists and academics. From the late 1940s he lived and worked in Shanghai, where he advised the Museum and was professor at the Shanghai Academy. He is one of relatively few twentieth-century painters renowned for meticulous brushwork, after the late Ming tradition.
