Pan Chun-Yuan (1891-1972)
TAIWAN, Tainan
Pan Chun-Yuan, whose original name was Pan Lien-Ko and was also known as Chin-Ying, was a painter skilled in depicting landscapes, figures, flowers, and birds. At the age of 18, he established the Chun-Yuan Painting Workshop, and began creating murals for temples in Tainan. Later, Pan traveled to Guangzhou and Quanzhou, China to study art and facilitate artistic exchange between Chinese and Taiwanese artists. His son, Pan Li-Shui, succeeded him and became a renowned temple painter. His works are now kept at the Taiwan Fine Arts Museum in Taichung. Notable paintings of Pan's include Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara with a Fish Basket. |
