Wu Zuoren (1908-1997) was a Chinese painter. Born in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, he successfully practiced both traditional Chinese ink painting and European oil painting. His ability was recognized by Xu Beihong while he studied in the department of fine arts at Shanghai Art University in 1927, and one year later he followed Xu to study at the National Central University (renamed Nanjing University in 1949). In 1930 he traveled abroad to study in Europe, returning to China in 1935. With the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Wu joined the China Artists Association, later elected as vice president. In 1949 he also became a professor and the first provost of the China Central Academy of Fine Arts. Presented with the opportunity to design postage stamps for the People’s Republic, he designed the famous Giant Panda stamps first issued in 1963, which established the giant panda as the emblem of the new China. Wu Zuoren founded and endowed the Wu Zuoren International Foundation of Fine Arts.
