SPECIALIST’S NOTE:
Wu Weijia, of Macanese descent, studio name Yi Zhai, owner of Taixing Bank, came from a well-to-do family. An avid collector, Wu was particularly fond of Lingnan artists. Three works from this collection, including fine works by Zhao Shao’ang will be offered in Christie's Fine Chinese Modern Paintings sale on November 28, 2017.
The recipient of this painting is Wen Yongchen. He was an artist in Hong Kong that specializes in painting butterflies and children in addition to calligraphy. The most special of his works are those of children flying kites. What appears to be the string of the kite is in fact miniature written by the artist himself, and sometimes even include writing in English. Similarly, on his paintings of butterflies, the antennae were also miniature writing. He also was good friends with other artists based in Hong Kong, such as Zhao Shao’ang, Feng Kanghou, etc., and received calligraphic works and paintings from them.
Zhao Hao, born in Taishan, Guangdong, a famous painter, and a professor of Zhongshan University. He was a promoter of Northern style paintings, and founded artist society such as the Nanshan Paintings Society and the Guangdong National Paintings Research Association.
