The grandson of calligrapher and painter Wu Dacheng, he was born into a family with generations of scholar-officials and received a classical education. Surrounded by genuine works from the past, he solidified his strong foundation in traditional culture, devoting his entire life to the realm of Chinese art. With both a firm grasp and a rigorous practice of ancient inscriptions, painting, calligraphy, literature and opera, Wu lived the life of a traditional literatus. He spent the early part of his life in the Shanghai region, and, following the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, taught at the Shanghai Institute of Chinese Painting. He went on to become one of the city’s most important connoisseurs, writing extensively about the works in his collection.
