• Notes:
  About the Artist: Wu Changshuo’s favorite subjects were colorful abstract images of flowers and rocks. His work is not a literal depiction from nature, but an arrangement that playfully emphasizes his skillful use of bold calligraphic brushwork against blank space. His works were highly sought after by the new Shanghai urban elite.
