About the Item

Important, Impressionist original oil painting on artist's board, a landscape of Hong Kong circa 1950s, by the renowned Chinese Artist Hu Shanyu (1909-1993). Hu Shanyu was born in Guangdong, China in 1909. He entered the National Hangzhou Academy of Art in 1929 and studied under Mr. Lin Fengmian. Having excelled in his academic performance, Hu was able to pursue studies in France where he studied painting at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. He studied the works of impressionist masters at the Louvre. Hu was interested in contemporary virtuoso artist Albert Marquet (1875-1947), who was influenced by Corot and impressionism. He was also fascinated by the unique style of landscape painter Maurice Utrillo (1883- 1955), the brush techniques of Alfred Sisley, and the use of colors by Paul Cézanne. After returning to China in 1935, Hu taught at the National Chongqing School, the National Academy of Art, and then at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

His book Hu Shanyu Oil Painting Collection was published by the Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House.
