Fang Zhaolin (1914-2006) was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu province in east China. She studied Chinese painting with several masters including Qian Songyan, the Lingnan School master, Zhao Shao’ang (1905-1998), and later with one of the most celebrated Chinese artists, Zhang Daqian (1899-1983). In her forties, she completed her university training in Hong Kong and then Oxford. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Fang lived and traveled in Europe and America where she became knowledgeable about trends in modern Western painting. Her enduring passion was, however, the traditional Chinese style, rooted in national history and culture. The landscapes and the still lifes she painted were always depictions of home. She was fascinated by the simplicity of Han mural paintings and developed a distinctive style of her own in both figure paintings and in her landscapes which, from the 1970s, often combine calligraphic lines and forms to illustrate mountains and rocks instead of using the traditional method of ink strokes.

方召麐(1914-2006年)出生於中國江蘇省無錫市，曾跟隨多位國畫大師學習書畫，如嶺南派錢松喦、大師趙少昂以及張大千。四十多歲時，她先後在香港和牛津就讀。五十年代至七十年代，方在歐美遊歷旅居，了解西方現代繪畫潮流。然而，她深愛民族歷史和文化與傳統中國風格。她畫的風景和靜物經常是對家的描繪。她著迷於漢族壁畫的簡潔，並在人物畫和山水畫中形成了自己獨特的風格，從 20 世紀 70 年代開始，她經常結合書法線條和形式來描繪山石，而不是使用傳統的繪畫方法。她的作品保留老師的風格，作品色彩濃烈，用筆豪放。
