關蕙農月份牌王Calendar Posters of Kwan Wai-nung
關蕙農於1880生於廣東南海，於1920年代已被冠以「月份牌王」的美譽。他的祖父是中國外銷畫名家關作霖，自幼在家中已學習到西方繪畫技巧，又拜名嶺南派畫家居廉門下研習國畫。
Born in 1880 in Nanhai, Guangdong, Kwan Wai-nung gained recognition as the "Master of Calendar Posters" in the 1920s. Kwan came to Hong Kong in 1905, and worked for a time at the Man Yu Tong Bookstore. Kwan’s grandfather, Kwan Tso-lam, was a celebrated Chinese painter of pictures for export, and from early on, Kwan had mastered Western painting techniques by learning from the famous English Painter George Chinnery. He also studied traditional Chinese painting, in particular the powder-and-water technique under Ju Lian, a prominent master of the Lingnan School.
