关紫兰，1903年生于广东。1927年毕业于上海中华艺术大学西洋画科，同年赴日本留学，入日本东京文化学院。作为中国较早接受野兽派影响的画家，她早年师从陈抱一，并与日本具有现代艺术倾向的油画家艺术家有岛生马、中川纪元等人过从甚密，是中国民初西洋美术的开拓者，被誉为“中国早期杰出女油画家、艺术家”。其作品曾多次入选日本“二科”美术展、上野美术展、兵库县美术展，1930年日本政府将关油画《水仙花》印成明信片在日本发行。回国后多次在上海举行个人油画展。曾为上海文史馆馆员，中国美术家协会会员。作品被中国美术馆等艺术机构收藏，并入选美国艺术研究会出版的《世界名画集》、《中国油画》、《中国油画百年图史》、《20世纪中国油画展作品集》、《当代中国油画》、《失落的历史—中国女性绘画史》等大型油画册。
Guan Zilan was born in Guangdong Province in 1903. She graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of Shanghai University in 1927. In the same year, she pursued her study in Japan where she attended several important art exhibitions. Affected by Fauvism, she was one of the pioneers of western painting in China then. In 1930 her oil painting Narcissus was published as postcard by Japanese government. After returning home she held solo exhibitions many times in Shanghai. Her works were collected by National Art Museum of China, and selected into large-scale oil painting albums such as World Famous Paintings (published by American Art Institute), Chinese Oil Painting, Chinese Oil Painting Collection of 20th Century, etc.
