Pan Yuliang - the controversial whore-turned-oil-painter


Pan Yuliang's complicated life gets more plentiful after her participation in art, with her defying and fending characteristics and through movies and teleplays, the world could rediscover her talent and her art. In 2006 spring, her solo exhibition "Pan Yuliang - the painting soul" was held in Na­tional Museum of History and National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, through 120 paintings, her life and her art were clearly displayed, and the Pan Yu-liang fever is on the rise.

As one of the earliest Chinese painters in France, Pan Yu-liang had great passion and her talent; she is one of the best Chinese artists in the past century. With Shanghai professor Hong Ye's enlightenment and the principle in Shanghai Art School Liu Haisu, teacher Wang Jiyuan's support, she successfully enrolled to Sino-French Institute, Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris, and National Arts Institute in Rome, and her pursuing knowledge clearly shows the steadfast and persevering will she has. She was an illiterate person who loves to embroider, but after graduation, she was appointed to the director of Shanghai Art School and the professor of National Nanjing University.

Like what Liu Haisu said, Pan Yuliang is a "warrior of beauty" in her life. After she went to Europe, she participated countless French Salon exhi­bitions and had received French National Gold Award (1945), Belgium Brussels Sliver Prize (1958), Paris prix d'Or (1959), and medaille d'Honneur de la Societe' En­couragement au Progres (1971). Her life had been documented in "Dictionnaire des peintres, sculpteurs, dessinateurs et graveurs" and French "Dictionnaire de la peinture Larousse".
