Hi George,

When I  wrote   Shi  Qing    that  was a  mistake.  I meant to write  Qiu Shi , whom the  S'Pore    guys mentioned  last weekend in BJ  because  he  has now  definitely   stopped  painting

But  in fact  both these  artists    were  collected  by the  Singapore  Nanyang  Group because  -  I believe  - they  were   senior  students  of  Wang Guanyu ,  who   often  went to  S'Pore   and    who   was  most ardently  collected  by the  Nanyang  Group  ( you  can see that from their book)

The first time  I ever went to Hengshui,  Wang Guanyu sold me  a bottle  each by  Shi Qing and   Qiu Shi  and  very reasonable  prices  ( about  USD 200 each)  which  seemed  to  have been gathering dust on his  shelves. Both were  of course landscapes.

I have  since  been  able  to  confirm  that  Qiu Shi  =  Liu Xingkai 

But  I  do not know  the  real  name of Shi Qing and  I myself  have  no evidence that he  is  Zhang  Haishen  ( although that's not to say  he  is  not   ZHS )  .  If  you  have some     evidence  or  testimony  please  do   send  to me.  I  can't  find  anything  on Bill's  site  for  ZHS  except a  copy of   his page in CIPMA .

The  use of  pen names  seems to be  very common, and some  artists   have several pen  names .  Maybe  they   adopt   different  pen names  at  different  phases  of their    creative  life  .  According to my research  , even Zhang Guanqing,  current  master  of  the   Lu  Schooln in  Shangdong (  Zibo)  has   two  pen names

Cheers  Peter
