Lu Zhaoxiong (b. 1940), a Shanghai-based artist, is known for his
works depicting scenes of Shanghai over various periods. In 1959, his
oil painting ‘On the Bund’ was selected for the Shanghai Art Exhibition
commemorating the 10th anniversary of Shanghai’s liberation. Lu was
active during the 1960s-70s when the norm of that ‘arts are created
to serve politics’ was in place in China. Lu’s works were exhibited
together with those by other important Chinese modern artists
including Lin Fengmian, Wu Dayu, and Yan Wenliang.
