LUI SHOU KWAN (LÜ SHOUKUN, 1919-1975)

The illustration of this painting in Lui Shou-kwan 1919-1975 shows only the artist’s seals but without the artist inscription and signature. The photograph was probably taken before the artist inscribed and signed the painting.

Major T. Geoffrey Barker (1912-1980) was the agent of Lui Shou Kwan’s paintings in the UK. He was instrumental in promoting Lui’s art to an international audience and held Lui’s solo exhibition at the Runbold Gallery in the UK in 1962.
