Chen Zizhuang

Chen Zizhuang (Simplified Chinese: 陈子庄; Hanyu Pinyin: Chén Zizhuāng) (1913–1976) was a Chinese artist from Wanxian in Sichuan province. He trained in the gongbi tradition but changed to a more expressive (寫意) style in his sixties following the styles of Qi Baishi and Huang Binhong.^[1] He taught at Sichuan Normal University in Chengdu. He died poor and destitute but his work was rediscovered after his death, prompting to characterise him as 'the Chinese van Gogh'.^[2] He influenced many Chinese artists including Li Huasheng and Wu Fan.
