By Kun Wang, from Beijing (b. 1970) His legs were paralyzed due to polio at the age of 3. He loved painting since childhood and attended elementary art training at the age of 7, and he gradually showed extraordinary art talent. Elementary training could not satisfy his strong desire for the study of art, so he sought a higher level of education by all means. Unfortunately his physical restriction was a serious handicap in his studying, so he had no choice but to learn by himself. With his family's full support and encouragement, he tried his best to find and collect as many resources as possible related to art and began a basic but strict, formal, comprehensive and professional self-training: this self-study laid very solid basic skills of drawing as well as paving the way for future developments in art. At that time he also studied Chinese painting, calligraphy, seal carving and many other artistic fields. In the mid-1980's he changed his study, research and creativity to oil painting. With his artwork "Harvest on Black Soil," published in "Art Panorama," he established his way to modern classical realism, and then he developed a unique step by step artistic style in oil painting technique. He came to Beijing in 1994, and became a professional oil painter. WangKun studio was founded in 1998, and he engaged in painting modern classical realism. He is settled in Beijing now.

Hendrik Willem Mesdag

from the Netherlands

(1831 - 1915)



He studied in Brussels with Willem Roelofs and in 1868 moved to The Hague to paint the sea. In 1870 he exhibited at the Paris Salon and won the gold medal for The Breakers of the North Sea. In 1880 he received a commission from a Belgian company to paint a panorama giving a view over the village of Scheveningen on the North Sea coast near The Hague . With the help of Sina and students he completed the enormous painting (Panorama Mesdag)— 14 m high and 120 m around — by 1881. However, the vogue for panoramas was coming to an end, and when the company operating it went bust in 1886, Mesdag purchased the painting at auction and thereafter funding its operating losses from his own pocket. He joined the art society of The Hague (the Pulchri Studio) and in 1889 was elected chairman. In 1903 he gave his house at Laan van Meerdervoort and his collection of paintings to the Netherlands; the house is now the Museum Mesdag.
