He studied in Paris and Berlin, travelled in Europe 1926-27 and in 1927 returned to China. In the following years he organized many international exhibitions on modern Chinese painting and in 1936 became director of the National Art Academy. In the mid 1930s and early 1940s he did a series of cat paintings, of which this painting is a fine example.
