Chinese master's rare art to be housed at Tsinghua University

Master painter Wu Guanzhong (1919-2010) is known for integrating the techniques of Western art with the aesthetic and philosophy of Chinese culture.

The artist, who was trained at the Hangzhou Fine Art School, now the China Academy of Art, and later at the prestigious Ecole nationale superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, created a distinguished, dynamic and poetic style that helped shape the art landscape of 20th-century China.

Wu is also remembered for his generosity. He made several donations of his work to public museums at home and abroad.
