This is a well done reproduction of work done by Sanyu, not an original of his.
Sanyu (China/France, 1901-1966) was born in Sichuan, China where he learned the skill of calligraphy and discovered his love for art. In 1921, he moved to Paris and quickly assimilated into the artistic community. He married a minor Parisienne aristocrat and became a familiar figure on the social circuit. He is best known for his nude and still-life paintings that merged Chinese calligraphy techniques with Western composition. He is often described as the ‘Chinese Matisse’.
