Wu Guanzhong (1919–2010) is one of the twentieth century’s most admired Chinese painters. All his career, from his student days to his final years, he engaged with European painting alongside Chinese traditional paintings.
This exhibition at the Ashmolean comprises works lent by Hong Kong Museum of Art, selected from a recent donation of 450 paintings and sketches from the artist’s family, and represents every decade of Wu Guanzhong’s life from the 1950s onwards in oils, ink, pencil and other media.
The exhibition is supported by the Denys Firth Family Foundation.
