NOTE:
Gao Guanhua, a protégé of the renowned master Pan Tianshou (1897-1971), studied painting under his tutelage. Gao has also taught at Tianjin University, Beijing Normal University of Arts and the Department of Traditional Chinese Painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He is particularly skilled in flower-and-bird painting, with a unique artistic style that encompasses poetry, calligraphy and painting. He has held solo exhibitions in various locations, including the United States, Japan, and China, earning acclaim both in China and internationally.
