Maung Maung Gyi (painter)
Maung Maung Gyi ((ビルマ語:မောင်မောင်ကြီး), ; 1890–1942) was an early watercolor painter from Yangon and the first Burmese to travel abroad for studies in Western painting.〔〔〔〔
==Early history and training==
Maung Maung Gyi lost his mother in early childhood and so his father sent him to Yangon High School as a boarding student.〔〔 There he exhibited an interest in drawing, but he was temperamental and one day quarreled with a teacher and quit school.〔〔〔 He then decided to travel to England to study art. The events which followed, attributed to the year 1906, have become a part of Burmese folklore. He allegedly went to Rangoon harbor to find a ship which would carry him to England and asked the captain of one ship there for a job as a seaman. While talking to the captain he drew his portrait, and the captain was so taken with the youth’s portrait of him and his adventuresome spirit that he agreed to take him on board as a seaman.〔〔〔〔 Maung Maung Gyi was about 16 years old at that time.〔
Maung Maung Gyi reached England and studied there for two or three years. It is not known what school he attended, but his main studies seemed to have been agriculture, as well as art and chemistry.〔〔 There is some possibility that during his time in England he may also have had to work as a dishwasher to make ends meet.〔 It seems not to have been an institution of higher learning for when he returned to Burma, about 1908 or shortly thereafter, he continued with his secondary education at St. Paul’s English High School in Rangoon for two years.〔〔 Following his studies at St. Paul’s, he became an agricultural officer for the colonial government,〔〔 which offered him the chance to tour the country, painting its scenes in his free time.〔
