Huang Binhong (1865-1955), born in Jinhua of Zhejiang Province, was a renowned Chinese literati painter and art historian. Huang, who began to learn traditional landscape painting at the age of six, was famed for his innovations in the literati style. His landscapes were unique for their distinctive "black, dense, thick and heavy" style.
Huang, a master of freehand landscapes, bird-and-flower paintings, calligraphy and art theories, together with his contemporary Qi Baishi, were reputed as "Qi of the North; Huang of the South."
