Lui Shou-kwan [Lü Shou-k’un]

(b Guangzhou [Canton], Guangdong Province, 11 Nov 1919; d Hong Kong, 26 Sept 1975). Chinese painter. Son of a scholar–artist, he essentially taught himself to paint by copying the works of ancient masters of various schools. In 1948 he moved to Hong Kong, and while working as a clerk for a living he joined the local art scene as a teacher, critic and creative artist, becoming one of the most influential figures in Hong Kong art. He advocated the modernization of Chinese painting by a return to inspiration from nature and the release of personal creativity. Prompted by enthusiasm for Abstract Expressionism and other modern art movements, he explored the expressive potential of pure form with Chinese brush, ink and paper and thus initiated the New Ink Painting movement. Lui sought an identity for Hong Kong art through the merging of Chinese and Western art.
