Lin San Zhi
  • Biography

    A native of Anhui, Lin Sanzhi relocated to Shanghai in 1929 to study the art of landscape painting under his fellow Anhui native Huang Binhong (1864-1955).

    Later in Lin Sanzhi's career his focus would turn to calligraphy, especially developing his own cursive style that reflected his deep understanding of archaic inscriptions in bronze and on stone. His mode of landscape painting would stay near to his teacher, relying on on-the-spot sketches and the use of heavy, dark ink.
