A collection of paintings by Chinese artist Wu Jiankun (born 1935), which were originally commissioned to appear on postage stamps and philatelic commemoratives. Wu Jiankun was born in 1935 at Dali, Shaanxi Province, in China. He graduated in 1955 from Sian Arts Academy, specializing in industrial arts, and began his career in stamp design that same year. Greatly influenced by the traditional style of Chinese painting, Wu created spectacular stamp designs using these techniques. His works include these stamp issues: "Early Fossils of China", "Historical Relics During the Cultural Revolution", "26th World Table Tennis Championships" and "Landscape of Lushan Mountain".
