Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum
In my childhood, art was a playful game; in my youth, art was a means of making a living; in my adulthood, art has become my life.
Wang Xishan graduated from the Printmaking Department of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in 1984, and then embarked on a career as an art teacher. He is now a professor at the College of Art at Harbin Normal University. His prints employ various forms and techniques, including lithography, monochrome woodcut, multi-block woodcut and waste-block woodcut. His favourite subject matter is figures, especially farmers in the north-east of China, and he has also specialized in the depiction of nudes, based on his study of life drawing.
