Zhang Xiangning (1909-1960), sobriquent Zuozhai jushi, was born in 1909 in Panyu, Guangdong province. He excelled in painting landscape, basing his brush-ideas from Huang Gongwang (1269-1354) and Wang Meng (1308-1385) of the Yuan dynasty. He was also interested in seal-carving. His style was derived from Zhao Zhiqian (1829-1884) and Huang Shiling (1849-1908), and from the masters of the Qin-Han dynasties. Zhang joined the National Painting Research Association in Guangzhou and founded the Tianchi Society with Li Yaochen (1898-1961) and Deng Fen (1894-1964). During the Second Sino-Japanese War, he moved to Hong Kong with his family and made a living with his calligraphy, painting and seal-carving.
