Li Xiongcai (1910-2001) was a figure, flower, bird, and landscape painter. Born in Gaoyao in the Guangdong Province, Li received his earliest artistic training from his father, and later studied with Gao Jianfu, founder of the Lingnan School of painting. His studies focused on Chinese painting and other artistic techniques, as well as sketching. In 1932, Li was given a scholarship by the Chunshui Studio to study Fine Art at the Tokyo Art Institute, which gave him the opportunity to learn about the various innovations in painting made by Japanese artists at the time. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Li traveled extensively through the western part of China. Throughout his travels, he studied the details of cultural relics, and made a series of sketches of the places he visited. Li held a number of solo exhibitions throughout his career. In 1978, he was appointed as professor and deputy director of the Guangzhou Institute of Fine Arts. He was also elected director of the Chinese Artists Society, and deputy director of the Chinese Artists Association in Guangdong. In 2012, a retrospective of his work was held at the National Art Museum of China. Many of his most well-known works were executed on a large scale, and were characterized by bold, fluid brushstrokes.
