	Ding Yanyong 丁衍庸 [Chinese Painter, 1902-1978]

	Ding Yanyong's legacy as an artist started in the early 20th century. A student of Western art in 1920's, Ding went to Tokyo to study modern art and was particularly attracted to the works of Matisse and the Fauves. In 1949, Ding settled in Hong Kong and began his career painting classical Chinese genres. Ding's works combined expressive brushwork and precise execution, and they have a unique ability to bring life to the subject. Ding's unique style is perhaps best portrayed in his paintings of animals, legends and opera singers wherein his unparallel mastery of the Chinese ink and brush and humor lies.
