of Dr. J. T. Lou (陸潤之)
Dr. J.T.Lou(陸潤之) (1907-1988) was a renowned ophthalmologist in Shanghai
during the Republic period, and in the 1930’s he was appointed professor at
Shanghai’s Aurora University (震旦大學). In 1934, he pursued further medical
research in France before returning to Shanghai as Director of Hospital Sainte-
Marie (廣慈醫院). At the end of World War II, Dr. Lou immigrated to Hong
Kong where he built an extremely successful medical practice treating the
likes of Zhang Daqian and Zhao Shao’ang. Through his expert service to his
patients and his relationships with famous artists, Dr. Lou built an impressive
collection of Chinese painting and calligraphy. The lots included here have
remained within his family’s collection to the present day.
