Zhu Qizhan was born in 1892 and started painting at the age of seven. He became a professor at the Shanghai Arts Academy in his twenties. While traveling to Japan, he saw and was strongly influenced by Western-style oil painting and the art of Picasso and Cezanne. Living until the age of 105, Zhu witnessed some of the most tumultuous and wrenching times in Chinese history—the fall of the Qing dynasty, the Communist and cultural revolutions, and the social and economic changes of the 1990s.
