18TH-19TH CENTURY

Wu Junqing (1844-1927), better known as Wu Changshuo, is one of the most prominent and influential artists of modern Chinese painting. Wu was a talented and accomplished artist who integrated traditional Chinese painting styles of early masters such as Xu Wei, Chen Daofu, Bada Shanren and Shi Tao, with the art of poetry, calligraphy and seal engraving.

Shiqian was the style name of Wu Yin (1886-1922), one of the four founding members of Xiling Yinshe, 'Xiling Seal Art Society,' one of China's most important traditional seal-engraving associations.
