Lot 1365 PROPERTY FROM THE QINGXIANG LOU COLLECTION (LOTS 1363-1365)
The present owner of the Qingxiang Lou Collection, Zhou Weiru (b. 1931), is an artist, collector, and former student and collaborator of Huang Junbi (1898-1991). Born in Ningbo in 1931, Zhou was acquainted with many celebrated artists at a young age and subsequently studied ink painting, specialising in the subjects of bamboo and orchid with Gu Qingyao (1896-1978) in 1954 and Gao Yihong (1908-1982) since 1957.
In 1961, when Zhou had learned painting for seven years, she was introduced to Huang by Feng Bichi (1916-2009), who was pursuing her painting studies under the mentorship of Zhang Daqian (1899-1983). The elegance and grace with which Zhou depicted bamboos were much admired and praised by Huang, who also collaborated with her on various occasions.
