Yuan Songnian's Classic Chinese Paintings (Large)

Yuan Songnian (1895 - 1966), courtesy name Hewen, was a native of Panyu, Guangdong Province. In his early years, he studied Western painting at St. John's University in Shanghai. At that time, Kang Youwei, Lv Cheng, Chen Duxiu and others advocated the use of Western painting methods to change Chinese painting, Yuan Songnian was influenced by this, and resolutely gave up Western painting to specialize in the creation of Chinese paintings, and made a lot of attempts to innovate Chinese paintings by borrowing Western paintings. After the liberation of China, Yuan Songnian became a painter at the Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy, a member of the Shanghai branch of the China Artists Association, a member of the Shanghai Museum of Literature and History, and a member of the Huangpu District Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He has published "A Collection of Lyrical Small Sings and Poems" and "A Collection of Sketches of Famous Places", etc. His heirloom works "A Corner of Taihu Lake" and "Carrying Vegetables" are hidden in the Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy.
