Also known as

Shaomei Chen, Chen Shaomei, 陳少梅

Shao Mei Chen (1909–1954), commonly catalogued as Chen Shaomei and in Chinese as 陳少梅, was a Chinese painter known for landscape painting. Chinese-language biographical material identifies Hengshan in Hunan as his place of origin and records several personal, courtesy, and art names. It also places him within the circle of painter Jin Beilou, describes him as a member of the Hu Society, and notes that he led the society's Tianjin branch. International authority records at Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and the Library of Congress align the artist with the 1909–1954 dates, helping distinguish his records from similarly named makers. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with Chinese landscape painting, although name order and romanization vary between catalogues. Those identity variants matter when matching works, inscriptions, exhibition references, and historical auction records.

Common works and media

The collected sources securely identify Shao Mei Chen as a Chinese landscape painter, making paintings with landscape subjects the clearest supported work type. The source pack does not provide enough institution-grade object records to characterize particular formats, ink or color techniques, figure subjects, editions, prints, sculpture, or decorative objects as recurring parts of his production. Such classifications should be added only when reliable catalogued works or artist-specific auction records confirm them.

Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first confirm that a work is attributed to Chen Shaomei and reconcile any signatures or inscriptions with his documented name variants. Comparable analysis should align medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration history, provenance, and attribution confidence. Exhibition history and catalogue references may provide additional context. Appraisily's current public page contains inconsistent record counts—one section reports two tracked lots while another reports zero matched records—so its displayed numerical summary should not be treated as a stable market benchmark without examining the underlying lots. Public auction results are only one part of valuation, and incomplete feeds, private transactions, condition differences, or later attribution changes may produce a materially different conclusion.

Appraisal caveats

  • The Appraisily page contains conflicting market-record summaries: one section reports two tracked lots, while another reports zero matched records. Record-level reconciliation is needed before relying on its numerical market statistics. Source: https://appraisily.com/artist/shao-mei-chen/
