Wang Kangle

Wang Kangle was a Chinese painter born in Fenghua, Zhejiang Province.

Biography


Wang Kangle showed his brilliance in art at a young age and was recruited by the Shanghai Commercial Press at age 18. He studied the basics of landscape art under the guidance of masters such as Zhang Daqian, Huang Binhong and Zheng Wuchang. Throughout the prime of his life, he contented himself with consulting jade manufacturers and teaching art as the Communist Revolution strongly frowned upon prominent artists.

After the Revolution, he traveled across China and began to develop the style that he is known for today. He served as a member of Shanghai Research Institute of Culture and History, member of Shanghai Artists' Association, advisor to Huang Bin Hong Research Society, vice-chairman of Calligraphy and Painting Society of shanghai and Hong Kong Defeng Studio.
