Originally
known as Feng Ya-heng, from Yanshou, Sichuan
Province. Adept in Chinese painting and plate
drawing, his theory of "a hand for tradition and a
hand for real life" made him the representative of
the Chang’an School of Painting.
However, at a later stage, his style had a major
change and he was eager to promote the marriage of
literature with painting. His aim was to integrate
poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal-carving into
a new form of art, thereby becoming instrumental in
the promotion of creative Chinese painting.
He was a committee member of the Chinese Literary
Union and a General Director of the Federation of
Chinese Artists. In 1979 he organized a personal
exhibition in the Chinese Art Gallery of Beijing,
winning widespread praise.
Shi Lu
created his artistic pseudonym by combining those of
two heroes of cultural iconoclasm, the seventeenth
century individualist painter Shitao and the
twentieth century writer Lu Xun. As chairman of the
Shaanxi branch of the Chinese Artists Association
during the 1960s, he spearheaded development of a
new socialist guohua with strong local color. He
later was strongly influenced by Xugu's paintings,
which he was able to see in Shanghai, and developed
an angular manner of his own.
