The art of Zhu Qizhan embodies the continuing development of the Shanghai School of painting in the
20th century. Zhu Qizhan’s painting evolved against the background of late Qing period painting in
Shanghai, whose artistic lineage lay in the bold and innovative paintings of the 18th century Yangzhou
masters. Infuenced too by an idea popular in the early years of the Republic to introduce Western styles
of painting into China, Zhu Qizhan studied abroad and took up oil paintings. In his mature painting Zhu
Qizhan works solely in the guohua tradition into which he has fully assimilated all Western infuences.

朱屺瞻的藝術涵蓋了海派在二十世紀的發展。他繪畫的蜕變是隨著晚清上海地區、師從十八世紀揚州
大師的大膽創新風格。受到民國早期引進西方繪畫的影響，朱屺瞻留學日本并學習油畫。在他成熟階
段的繪畫，皆是以傳統國畫來創作，同時融入西方藝術的影響。 EVOLUTION OF A STYLE 蜕變的風格
