Sanyu est un artiste chinois né en 1901 dans la région du Sichuan. Sanyu étudie au Shanghai Art College et se rend en France en 1921, tout comme de nombreux artistes chinois à cette époque, mais contrairement à la plupart de ses contemporains, Sanyu décide de rester à Paris. À partir de 1925, Sanyu expose régulièrement. Sanyu est considéré comme le premier artiste moderne chinois. Attiré par le genre du portrait, sa principale préoccupation était l’étude du nu, art dans lequel il a excellé, notamment à partir de 1929. Sanyu est décédé à Paris en 1966 et fait partie de grandes collections et institutions d’art.
