Chen Zhifo(1896-1962), also known as Chen Shaoben, Chen Jie, Born in Yuyao, ZhejiangProvince, was a well-known Chinese educator of modern art, an artist and a craftsman. He was graduated from the major of Automatic Weaving of the First Industrial Institute of Hangzhou in 1916 and in the 1918 he went to Tokyo University of the Arts to study in the Department of Applied Art and returned to China in 1923 to establish the Shangmei Patterns Gallery.
Chen was trapped into a chaotic situation in most time of his life due to the war until after the construction of People’s Republic of China. In those periods of social and political upheavals, only by having strong faith toward his passion and a spirit of not sailing with the stream can an artist be remembered.
