Lot Essay

Wang Bu (1898-1968), also known by his hao, or sobriquet, Zhuxi, was a highly respected porcelain artist born in Fengcheng County, Jiangxi Province. He studied under the famed porcelain artist Wu Aisheng (1886-1926), and was much influenced by the expressionist, xieyi style of his older contemporary Wang Qi (1884-1937).
