Li Deren was born in Yuci, Shanxi Province, in 1946.
After his graduation from middle school in 1962, he returned to the
countryside, studying art in his spare time. He continued his art
studies when he entered the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery School in 1965. At
that time, he was artistically active in the Dazhai
Office of the Shanxi Agricultural University and the propaganda section
of the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery Plant. In 1978, he entered the Art
Research Institute of Shanxi University, focussing on Chinese painting.
The poster above is clearly from the period when Li
was still engaged in propaganda painting. His specialities are
traditional scenery and figurative painting, and art history.
