XU Beihong
Born: July 19, 1895(1895-07-19)Yixing, Jiangsu China
Died: September 26, 1953 (aged 58)d. He is famous oil painter as well as masters of Chinese ink painting in the 20th century. He was also regarded as one of the first to create monumental oil paintings with epic Chinese themes - a show of his high proficiency in an essential Western art technique
Xu Beihong was trained in the tradition of academism in Paris and was a painter of realism. He insisted profoundly on the training of sketch drawing and the precision of perspectives. He strongly believed the first objective of art was realism and real life was the source of art. The other major contribution he made was his effort to improve Chinese traditional painting skill by integrating with that of the western classical realism. On the other hand, he also tried to use the elements of person emotions of Chinese paintings in his oil paintings. Similar to Li Shutong, (1880-1942) a master of poet, calligraphy and painting, Xu Beihong's oil paintings were full of Chinese characteristics though he used the traditional western painting techniques.
