Sanyu

Sanyu (Chinese: 常玉) or Chang Yu was a French painter of Chinese origin. He is known as one of the pioneers of modernism in Chinese art. 

Sanyu's artistic style was characterised by a unique fusion of Western influences, such as Fauvism and Cubism, with traditional Chinese painting techniques. His works often depicted simple and elegant subjects, including flowers, animals and nudes, with a minimalist and poetic touch. His use of bold colours and flowing brushstrokes created a sense of harmony and tranquility in his compositions.
