    Hi:

    I see on the internet that Wu Guanzhong was born in 1919 and died in 2010. There would be no reign mark on any of his paintings because the last imperial dynasty in China (the Qing) ended in 1912. Some modern Chinese paintings do have a date on them but this seal is not a date. Written in an ancient script that is notoriously difficult to read--and which I cannot read well--this seal is not Wu's name but seems to be some poetic phrase. Seals with poetic phrases are also common on Chinese paintings.
