Further details
Yang Yanwen was born in Hebei province and graduated from the Wu Guanzhong Painting Studio in the Beijing Institute of Art in 1963. Proficient in both Chinese and Western painting techniques, he developed a distinctive style characterized by rhythmic brushwork, bright colors, and a graceful atmosphere. Yang Yanwen exhibited widely in China and abroad and then worked in the Beijing Painting Academy. The owner of this collection recalls that both he and Wu Guanzhong advised the artist to diversify his painting themes.
