Ba Zaw
Ba Zaw (18911942) was an early Burmese artist born in Tha Yet and raised in Mandalay〔〔 who mastered Western painting. He and his student, Saya Saung, are largely responsible for creating the foundations and identity of a Western-style painting circle within the Mandalay School.〔 The Mandalay School, when examined as a whole, included diverse artistspainters who devoted themselves to Western-style painting as well as professional Traditional Burmese painters whose specialty and livelihood came from painting Buddhist works for temples and other religious buildings. Almost all the Traditional painters dabbled in or heavily experimented in Western-style painting from time to time.〔
== Early life and education ==
Ba Zaw was born to a well-known silversmith by the name of U Kyin who was awarded a gold medal by a British viceroy of Burma.〔〔〔 He attended St. Peter’s High School in Mandalay and then entered Judson College in Rangoon〔 in about 1911 or 1912. Judson College later merged with University College to become Rangoon University in 1920; thus, Burmese sources often mistakenly or casually claim that Ba Zaw attended Rangoon University〔〔 although the university had not yet been established when Ba Zaw was a college student.
Ba Zaw's skills as an artist were noticed by influential persons by the time he attended Judson College or during that time. Around the year 1912, while working on his B.A. at Judson, two British academics in Rangoon took interest in Ba Zaw’s artistic careera Mr. A.R. Morris, headmaster of Insein Engineering School (also referred to as the Institute of Technology at Insein), and Martin Ward, a university physics professor who later became the first chairman of the Burma Art Club (BAC). The two drafted a plan to send Ba Zaw to Bombay to study art, but Ba Zaw wanted to complete his B.A. first, and the project was postponed. The start of World War I scuttled these plans entirely.〔〔 Ba Zaw’s health was frail, and he subsequently fell ill, quit his university studies, and took a job as an art instructor at St. Paul’s High School in Rangoon.〔〔〔〔
