Shiy De-jinn 席德進 (1923–1981; pinyin: Xí Déjìn) was a Chinese modernist artist who became prominent in Taiwan. Born in Sichuan, he was a student of Lin Fengmian and Pang Xunqin.[1][2] Fleeing the Chinese Communist Party to Taiwan, he lived there until his death. He has attracted interested as a nativist and, especially posthumously, as a queer artist.[3][4][5][1] In terms of his creative style, he's heavily influenced by French artist Bernard Buffet.[6]

His works are held at Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei and the Taipei Fine Arts Museum.[7][8]
