LOT NOTES/ ARTIST BIO:
Tang Yun 唐云 (1910 - 1993) was born in 1910 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. He was a Chinese painting master and had various courtesy names: Xiachen, 侠尘; Yahocheng, 药城; Yaochen, 药尘; Yaoweng, 药翁; Laoyao, 老药. Tang Yun was the name he picked up after becoming an artist. His studio names were 'Da shizhai' 大石斋 or 'Shan leixuan' 山雷轩. Tang had an interest in Chinese calligraphy and painting since his childhood, and had been imitating various ancient masterpieces before he was 17 years old. In 1922, Tang attended a church school, Huilan Middle School in Hangzhou. In 1928, he became a Chinese painting teacher in Hangzhou Fengshi Female Middle School. IN 1939, he was hired to be a professor of Chinese painting in both Xinhua Art Specialist School and the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, the present Nanjing Art School. However, later he quit his job being an art teacher, focusing exclusively on painting itself. Tang was good at painting landscapes (Shanshui) and flowers and birds (huaniao), while sometimes he painted human figures. Except for painting, Tang was also good at calligraphy, especially semi - cursive script and seal script. In the meantime, Tang was a collector and connoisseur of various types of Chinese art, including Chinese painting and Yixing ware. Tang's collection is known for 8 pieces of Mansheng pot (manshenghu 曼生壶). All of his collection is now stored in Tang Yun Art Museum located in Hangzhou. Tang also enjoyed painting on Yixing ware and then have Yixing ware artists to carve and inscribe.
