1895

Pan Yuliang 潘玉良 , original name Zhang Yuliang, was born on May 22 in Yangzhou, 

 

Jiangsu Province, East of China.

 

The next year her father died and her mother also passed away eight years after.

 

She was taken in by her uncle.

   

1907

Sold in a brothel in Wùhù, in Anhui Province, she had to prostitute herself for four years.

 

One day she met an official, Pan Zanhua ( 1885 - 1959 ) who was touched by her misery

 

and decided to buy her freedom.
   

1913

She became his second wife and by gratefulness renamed herself Pan.

 

Driven by this scholar who was trained in Japan, she could finally consider learning

 

to write, paint and study.

   

1918

She passed the entrance exam of the School of Fine Arts of Shanghai where

 

she learned western painting with Wang Jiyuan.

   

1921

She graduated from the Shanghai  Fine Arts School of and got the scholarship

 

that allowed her to be part of the first promotion of Chinese students entering

 

the Franco-Chinese Institute of Lyon.

   

1923

She went to Paris to follow the course of Lucien Simon ( 1861-1945 )

 

and Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret (1852-1929 ).

 

She met Xu Beihong who entered the Higher School of Fine Arts in 1919

 

and she became her classmate.

   

1925

She went to Italy at the Royal Accademy of Rome to study sculpture in the workshop

 

of Conomardi

   

1926

She won the First prize at the Roman Art Salon.

   

1928

Invited by Liu Haisu to come to Shanghai, she returned to China, where a large exhibition

 

proclaimed her the first great Chinese artist to Western painting.

 

She first taught at the Art Institute in Shanghai and the Central Nanjing University

 

under the direction of Xu Beihong, but her past always seemed to catch up; her courses

 

were poorly attended. Her paintings of nudes, chocked the public opinion.

   

1939

She returned to settle in Paris.

   
 

She arrived in France in the throes of war; she experienced a difficult life, but far

 

from being discouraged she participated in numerous exhibitions.

   

1977

On July 22, she died in her miserable flat.

 

She was buried in the cemetery of Montparnasse in Paris, with her longtime friend :

 

Wang Shouyi.
