Chinese term or phrase: 個性派畫家
context: 其藝術乃成為引導八大、石濤、“揚州八怪”等個性派畫家獨抒感情個性的大寫意花鳥畫的開山。

This seems to be a common term, but I can't find a translation that seems to fit.

Thanks in advance for any help.

characteristic artist


Explanation:
instead of "painter", consider "artist" for this term. because "characteristic painters" sound to me like painters who paint characters (i have no knowledge in art though). also consider "personal characteristic artists". hope these suggestions are helpful to you.

from my research, i think Chun Un may be suggesting "eccentric painters".
