Text
Ezra Pound met Laurence Binyon. He attended his lectures on 'Art and thought in East and West' and frequently visited him at the British Museum with Dorothy Shakespear, who often copied Chinese paintings while Binyon and Pound talked.
Pound may have heard about Wang Wei in the Gallery of Prints and Drawings, where are two famous Chinese landscape paintings, one attributed to Wang Wei. In Painting in the Far East, Binyon describes Wang Wei as the 'founder of the southern school, who was even more famous for his poetry than for his painting'. Even if Pound hadn't read the book, he would have gotten the information from Binyon when viewing the paintings.
