HONGNIAN ZHANG (1947- ) Born in Nanjing, China, Zhang’s artistic training began at age nine. From the beginning, it was obvious the young man was an outstanding talent. As a top student in his mid-teens, the artist was accepted to the Central Art Academy Affiliated High School in Beijing. After graduation, however, the Cultural Revolution closed the schools. At this point, Zhang was sent with his class to do forced labor for four years in a remote countryside of China. Returning to Beijing in 1973, the talented artist became the youngest member of the Beijing Art Academy. In 1979, Zhang was, again, the youngest member ever elected to the All China Artists Association. Leading the "Scar” art movement, an important, artistic period in China exposing the painful memories of the Cultural Revolution, three of Zhang’s paintings were acquired for the Chinese National Art Gallery’s permanent collection. In 1984, the artist was accepted to the highly acclaimed and selective MFA program at the Central Art Academy.
