    Zhao Shou, 1912 - 2003, originally named Zhao Weixiong, is a Guangzhou native. After three years of study in Japan, he participated in some domestic exhibitions which were held by “Chinese Independent Association of Fine Arts” founded in Tokyo in 1935, and pressed series of works and articles in several magazines. From then on he had been devoted himself in education of art, and held his passion for making modern art for the rest of his life. In the year of 1998, two of Zhao Shou’s works were selected for the “5000 Years of Chinese Civilization” exhibition at Guggenheim Museum of Art, New York, in which he gained world-wide attention. After his death in 2003, most of his works were conserved in GDMoA.
