The Plum Scenery Studio: Wu Hufan and His Circle in Modern Shanghai

Wu Hufan (Chinese, 1894–1968) was one of the most influential and important collectors and artists of modern Shanghai. Many paintings in the CMA’s collection bear his collector seals or inscriptions express his art expertise. This installation presents about 20 artworks from the museum and private collections, all of which illustrate, through paintings and calligraphies, the exchanges and relationships Wu Hufan entertained with his students, painters, and poets of the time.
