George Chann

George Chann (1913–1995) was a Chinese American painter.[1]

Chann was born in Guangzhou, China, on January 1, 1913. He lived with his father in Stockton, California during his youth. He returned to Guangzhou to attended Sun Yat-sen University. In 1932, he returned to the United States.[1] He graduated from the Otis Art Institute in 1945.[2] After his graduation, he began teaching there in addition to exhibiting.[1]

Before the 1950s, Chann's works were mostly portrait paintings, with some still life and landscape paintings. In the 1950s, his works became more abstract and increasingly incorporated Chinese artifacts; for example, he rubbed some paintings with oracle bones.[1] His art increased in popularity after his death on May 26, 1995.[1][3]
