Tie-Hua Huang July 1997 BRIDGING CULTURES A CHINESE ARTIST IN THE ILLAWARRA ABSTRACT Tie-Hua Huang began his childhood artistic training under the master painter Zhu Qizhan in Shanghai. He also knew Tang Yun and other artists of that outstanding calibre. The training he gained was in the traditional methods of Chinese art from calligraphy and ink painting to seal-carving. His family had a love of the arts, both traditional and contemporary, and had an outward, international vision. They had built a collection of many famous and valuable art-works.
