He carefully observes the historical landmarks in his family's collection and travels through famous mountains and rivers, combining the teachings of the ancients with the teachings of nature, thus forming a unique artistic style that is meticulous, rich, clear, and clear. His calligraphy combines the ¡®Slender Gold¡¯ (shoujinti) of Mi Fu and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and combines his own interests to form a unique style with unique characteristics, thus becoming one of the most famous calligraphers, painters, and connoisseurs in Shanghai. Zhao Shuru, Wu Beiqiu, and Feng Chaoran are known as the ¡®Four Great Masters of the Sea¡¯. Also known as ¡®Three Wu and One Feng¡¯ together with Wu Zishen, Wu Beiqiu, and Feng Chaoran.

Dimensions: Image size 113.5 x 35.5 cm, Size incl. mounting 196 x 48 cm Gao Jianfu (1879–1951), a native of Guangzhou, was credited for leading the Lingnan (Canton) School’s effort to modernize Chinese traditional painting as a ‘new national painting.’ Along with his brother Gao Qifeng and friend Chen Shuren, they are known as the Three Masters of the Lingnan School. Gao Jianfu learned painting with Ju Lian (1828-1904) in his early years before he went to Japan, where he was influenced by the Nihonga movement that synthesized Western realism—natural light and luminous colors—with Eastern materials, techniques, and subject matter. This new hybrid art included the use of perspective, and other elements of Western painting. Jianfu once wrote: ‘I think we should not only take in elements of Western painting. If there are good points in Indian painting, Egyptian painting, Persian painting, or masterpieces of other countries, we should embrace all of them too, as nourishment for Chinese painting.’ While in Japan and after his return, he was involved in Sun Yat-sen’s revolutionary movement. After Sun Yat-sen passed away, Gao Jianfu devoted himself to the modernization of Chinese painting and art education.
