He was born in 1730 in Nanchang, in Jiangxi province, and died some time after 1788. He lost his parents when he was young. He spent most of his working life in Hubei province. He was also a seal carver. He is often linked with the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, a group of painters known for unorthodox styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMin Zhen is known for figure paintings of scholars, Daoist immortals and figures from legend, brushed in ink and sometimes color. His Album of Miscellaneous Subjects, dated 1788, has twelve leaves in ink on paper. The leaves cover animals, landscapes and figures, and include Cat and Butterfly, Elephant, Horse, and Hare, and Dragon amid Clouds. The album is held by the Cleveland Museum of Art. The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford also holds his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eMin Zhen prints: reproductions of leaves from the Album of Miscellaneous Subjects (1788) by the Qing dynasty painter Min Zhen.
