第一批到巴黎学习肖像和人物雕塑的中国学生是在1910—1911年。除了这些最初的法国的影响外,1950年代和60年代,俄国的形式主义雕塑风格来到了中国。据我所知,吴为山是第一位中国雕塑家回归到中国的传统,以求建立一种本土风格的肖像和人物雕塑方法,为实现这一目标,他同时兼备了家庭背景和天赋才能的优势,这实在让人羡慕不已。 ——英国皇家肖像雕塑家协会主席 安东尼·司顿斯 The first Chinese students to study portraits and figures sculpture in Paris were in 1910-1911. In addition to these initial French influences, the formalist sculpture style of Russia came to China in the 1950s and 1960s. To my knowledge, Wu Weishan was the first Chinese sculptor to return to China’s tradition in order to establish a native style portraits and figure sculpture methods. To achieve this goal, he also possessed the advantages of family background and natural talents This is really enviable. - Anthony Stones, Chairman of the Royal Society of Portraiture Sculptors
