Huang Shaoqiang (Chinese: 黃少強; pinyin: Huáng Shǎo Qiáng ), born Huang Yishi was a Chinese artist of the Lingnan School.
Early life
Huang was born Huang Yishi (黃宜仕) in the Nanhai district of Foshan, Guangdong, in 1901. The descendent of a village official,(SOHA) he was exposed to famed works of art from youth, including works from Europe. He also created his own works, painting No One to Tell (无告人) in 1911 as he was processing the Xinhai Revolution.
In 1919, Huang travelled to Guangzhou to learn painting. He continued to Shanghai the following year, where he first studied under Gao Qifeng before apprenticing under Gao Jianfu. The Gao brothers, , were known as the founders of the Lingnan School of painting, which blended Western styles with traditional Chinese art. Huang thus learned to combine western approaches to modelling with traditional ink- and brushwork, though unlike his teachers Huang often depicted human figures. He later spent time studying under Liu Haisu at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts (now part of Shanghai University).
Huang began a tour of China in 1923, making stops in Guangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Shanxi. He observed the experiences of the common people, later drawing on these observations for his depictions of such subjects. By 1926, he had returned to Nanhai, where he became the principal at the Dunmu Primary School and taught at several other local schools. With fellow Lingnan School painter Chao Shao-an, he established an art garden to teach painting to youths.
Artistic career
Two paintings by Huang, Dust on an Empty Bed (尘榻空留) and Self-Admiration in Despair (穷途自赏), were exhibited at the First National Art Exhibition in 1929; according to Ye Shuming of the Guangzhou-bazed e-zine Yangcheng.com, these were the only recent works exhibited therein. Following the 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria, Huang contributed his Floods and Refugees (洪水图流民图) to the National Disaster Painting Exhibition (1932) in Guangzhou. He took first place in the exhibition, sold the work, and donated the proceeds to support the war effort. In 1934, he and several other artists organized another exhibition, with proceeds donated to support the fight against the Japanese.
Style and analysis
As his subjects, Huang often took everyday situations and people. Attested in his works include beggars, craftsmen, peasants, peddlers, street performers, and tea house servants. Consequently, Ye describes them as imbued with a humanitarian spirit, taking a critical realist approach to highlighting their suffering while condemning the excesses of luxury. Some of his works, however, had religious themes, and several depict arhats (persons who have achieved nirvana) or the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Guanyin.
