In the 1980s, he joined Jiangsu traditional Chinese Painting Academy, a national first-class artist, enjoying the "special allowance" of the State Council, specializing in traditional opera figure painting, especially focusing on Kunqu opera art, which is the "master of all kinds of operas". With the exaggeration and generalization of caricature, he depicted the elegant Kunqu Opera, showing the gentle, lyrical, bold and unconstrained, funny and humorous of the people in the opera, created various figures, and published them There are dozens of picture books and art books.

Mr. Ma De donated his 100 Kunqu Opera paintings to our museum free of charge, making our museum the first professional art museum in China to integrate Kunqu Opera, the master of all kinds of opera, with Chinese painting and ink.

——Xin Fengxia

The female characters in Made's works are all close to the white drawing. Although the ink is very simple, it is more graceful and gentle. Made has a heart. He uses the most economical ink on the face of the character. He not only focuses on drawing body movements with delicate and vigorous lines, but also skillfully makes the props show the relationship between the characters. In this way, the figure is not the general figure, but the expressive body.
