Huáng Bīnhóng

Huáng Bīnhóng (黃賓虹) (1865-1955) was an art historian and literati painter born in either Anhui or Zhejiang (sources conflict on this). He was the grandson of artist Huang Fengliu. He would later be associated with Shanghai and finally Hangzhou. He is considered one of the last innovators in the literati style of painting and is noted for his freehand landscapes. He also had significance for creating several societies devoted to painting and calligraphy.

He was the greatest Chinese painter of the 20th century.
