以花卉画作，享名于世，兼擅风景、静物、肖像等绘画。其作高迈行云，渐至化境。萧氏以深厚的西画根
底转攻国画，其特点是以没骨点垛作装饰性构图，用笔沉静，力量、速度大体平均，其韵律主要依靠物象
不同的色彩、形状的组合而获得体现，而少有轻重疾徐、顿挫转折的节奏变化。花叶缤纷烂漫，而格调文
静娟秀，为传统画法中所未见，又能为雅俗所共赏，洵艺苑之奇葩、玉台之清品，尤以小幅更为精到 。对
艺术方面的旨趣和学养之宽广在同一时代的女性艺术家中可谓当之无愧的佼佼者，其艺术成就承继了中山
萧氏名门之风。

Born in Zhongshan, Guangdong in 1911, she studied Western painting at the National Art
College in Beiping from 1926 to 1928, and studied with Mr. Xu Beihong at the Art Department
of the Central University in Nanjing from 1929 to 1930. She studied Chinese painting in Beijing
from 1930 to 1933 with Wang Shansheng, Chen Shaomei, Tang Dingzhi and Qi Baishi, etc. In
1937, she went to Switzerland and England to study and hold a solo exhibition. In 1946, he
joined the Shanghai Artists and Writers Association and became a director. Since the 1980s, she
has visited Argentina, Australia, the United States, Japan, Singapore, Belgium, Luxembourg,
France and Hong Kong to hold the "Wu Zuoren and Xiao Shufang Chinese Painting Exhibition"
and other cultural exchanges, etc. She retired in 1984. Since 1993, she has held solo exhibitions
in Beijing, Suzhou, Zhongshan and Shenzhen, and donated her works to charity. 2001: "75th
Anniversary Retrospective Exhibition of Xiao Shufang at the National Art Museum of China".
2005 passed away.
With herdeep roots in Western painting, Xiao turned to Chinese painting, which is characterized
by a decorative composition of boneless pointillism, a quiet brushwork, a roughly even strength
and speed, and a rhythm that relies mainly on the combination of different colors and shapes of
the objects, with few rhythmic changes of lightness, speed, staccato, and turn. The flowers and
foliage are colorful and rosy, but the style is quiet and graceful, which is not seen in traditional
painting methods, and can be appreciated by the elegant and common people. Her interest in
art and the breadth of her studies are among the best among female artists of the same era,
and her artistic achievements inherit the style of the famous Xiao family in Zhongshan."
