The late Guangdong master Li Yanshan (1898 – 1961) was a key member of the Guangdong Chinese Painting Research Society and the principal of the Guangzhou Municipal College of Fine Arts in the 1930s. He developed his unique style by studying a variety of traditional paintings, in particular the works of the Yuan and Ming masters. The exhibits and archive materials are a good reflection of Li’s art and life, as well as the time he spent as part of both the Guangdong and Hong Kong art scenes.

The exhibition will feature about 120 Chinese landscape and flower-and-bird paintings by Li Yanshan, on loan from the Li family.
