Biographical Note

Huang Xinbo 黃新波 (1916-1980), reporter, guerilla fighter, and woodcut artist, was born in Guangdong Province, China. He attended the Shanghai-based League of Left-Wing Writers and League of Left-Wing Artists in 1933, and became a disciple of leading figure of modern Chinese literature, Lu Xun 鲁迅. Huang created the Association of Chinese Woodcuts in 1936. He worked as a reporter in Hong Kong between 1946 and 1949 before returning to Guangdong in 1949 to serve as a guerilla member of the Communist Party's East River Column 东江纵队. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), Huang was purged and forced to write confession materials, but he remained active creating a variety of woodcuts before his death.

Scope and Content of Collection
