Xu Beihong (1895—1953, alias Ju Péon,) , a household name in China, was one of the pioneers of modern Chinese painting, who championed the need for artistic expressions that reflected a modern China at the beginning of the 20th century. Apart from his highly acclaimed traditional Chinese ink paintings of horses, lions, birds, eagles, pine trees, bamboos, etc., Xu Beihong was also known as one of the first to create monumental oil paintings with epic Chinese themes -- a demonstration of his admirable proficiency in combining both Chinese and Western art techniques. Starting in 1919, Xu studied in Paris at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he learned oil painting and drawing. During 1933-34, Xu traveled widely and held art exhibitions around Western Europe, including the former Soviet Union, and won warm responses both at home and abroad. As the founder of the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in China, Xu trained in his lifetime generations of young Chinese artists, the influence of which is still being strongly felt today throughout China and beyond.
