Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Ding Yanyong was born in Maoming, Guangdong province. From 1921-1925 he studied at Tokyo School of Fine Arts, which had established a Western Art department in 1896. This period coincided with the return to Japan of many artists who had visited Europe, and Ding studied oil painting and was influenced by the Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and Fauves. Amongst Chinese painters he was influenced most by Zhu Da, whose paintings and calligraphy he collected. On his return from Japan Ding was appointed professor of Western-style painting at Shanghai College of Art; subsequently his career was divided between Shanghai and Canton until 1949, when he moved to Hong Kong, and taught in the fine art department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
