Further details
A native of Sanshui, He Guanwu (20th Century) was a noted collector in Guangdong. He made his fortune in the early 20th century by trading silk. In 1923, He joined the Paintings Research Society and befriended many artists in Guangzhou. He started collecting Chinese paintings and calligraphy under the name of Tianxi Studio. Due to the downfall of his business, his collection was eventually dispersed.
