Shanyue Guan, more commonly ordered as Guan Shanyue in international authority records (1912–2000), was a Chinese painter associated with the Lingnan School. Chinese-language biographical sources identify him as a representative second-generation artist of that school and give his original name as Guan Zepei. His practice encompassed landscapes, figures, and flower-and-bird painting, with plum blossom imagery singled out as a particular specialty. These subjects place his work within the modern development of Chinese painting while retaining established pictorial genres. Collectors may encounter his name in several romanizations, including Kuan Shan-yueh, and in simplified or traditional Chinese as 关山月 or 關山月. Those variants matter when matching signatures, catalog records, exhibitions, and auction results. Appraisily groups these identity forms under one artist entity while leaving the attribution of any individual object to evidence specific to that work.

Common works and media

Available sources describe Guan primarily as a painter. The most consistently documented subjects are landscapes, figures, and flower-and-bird compositions, with plum blossoms highlighted as a specialty. The source pack does not establish a reliable auction breakdown by ink, color, paper, silk, print, edition, sculpture, or ceramic category. Those details should therefore come from the individual work and its catalog record rather than being generalized from the artist identity.

Market and appraisal context

Auction records associated with this artist appear numerous, but an artist-level count does not establish authenticity, scarcity, price direction, or value. The most defensible comparison points supported here are work type and subject: paintings of landscapes, figures, flower-and-bird themes, and especially plum blossoms. Name variants and Chinese-character forms are also important when reconciling catalog entries or inscriptions. Any appraisal should then rely on the individual object and closely comparable sale records before drawing conclusions about attribution or market value. Lot-level details such as medium, support, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, and edition status were not available in the collected evidence and should not be assumed.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Landscape and flower-and-bird paintings

Value drivers

  1. Resolution of the artist's romanized and Chinese-character name variants when matching catalog entries, signatures, and auction records
  2. Subject correspondence with documented specialties, including landscapes, figures, flower-and-bird imagery, and plum blossoms
  3. Comparable public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices, when individual records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The artist-page record count is an input signal and does not by itself establish authenticity, scarcity, price direction, or value.
  • The collected market page was rate-limited and supplied no lot-level descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, attribution language, condition reports, or provenance.
  • Object-specific conclusions require examination of the individual work and appropriately matched auction records.
