Mian Situ

Mian Situ (b. 1953) is one of the greatest Chinese American realists of the 21st century, and an important historical painter. His narrative works encompass scenes from the American West, early Californian Chinese immigrants, and modern rural Southern China. His best-known works sold for six figures, including Journey of Hope and Prosperity P.M.S.S. Great Republic 1889, which sold in 2009 for $431,250; A New Beginning, San Francisco, 1910, went in 2010 for $402,500, Golden Spike Ceremony; and Promontory Summit, Utah, May 10, 1869, fetched $325,000 in 2019. Situ was born in a rural Chinese village in Southern China. Around the age of 13, he took private drawing lessons from a friend and had a chance to view black and white pictures of works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael, the three great masters of realist painting of the high Renaissance. This early exposure was the foundation for his later career as a successful realist artist.
