About the Item
Zao Wou-Ki (1920 - 2013) was a French-Chinese painter. He was a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Zao Wou-Ki graduated from the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, where he studied with Fang Ganmin and Wu Dayu.
Zao's works, influenced by Paul Klee, are oriented towards abstraction. He names them with the date he finished them, and in them, masses of color seem to materialize a world in creation, like a Big Bang, where light structures the canvas. He works in triptych and diptych formats. If his work is stylistically close to the abstract expressionists he met during his travels in New York, he is influenced by impressionism. Zao Wou-Ki has stated that he was influenced by the works of Matisse, Picasso and Cézanne.
His encounters with Henri Michaux led him to revise his Chinese ink techniques, still based on traditional Chinese drawings. Zao was a member of the Academy of Fine Arts, and was considered one of the most successful Chinese painters of his lifetime.

Zao Wou-Ki
Zao Wou-Ki was born in Beijing, China, on February 13, 1921, to a wealthy family descended from the Song Dynasty.
French-educated Chinese artist Lin Fengmian was Wou-Ki’s teacher at the China Academy of Art from 1935–41 and encouraged him to study abroad in Paris. Wou-Ki made the move in 1948 with a substantial amount of financial backing and later adopted France as his new home, remaining in the country, besides a few short trips abroad, until his death.
In Paris, Wou-Ki quickly joined a large postwar French art circle, composed of key writers, poets, painters and cultural figures, including Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Riopelle and Vieira da Silva, among others. This networking helped position himself at the top of the Lyrical Abstraction movement. By his mid-30s, Wou-Ki had decided to devote his artistic career to abstract painting that blended Eastern and Western stylistic traditions.
In 2011, Wou-Ki was referred to in art publications as the top-selling living Chinese artist. He died in Nyon, Switzerland, on April 9, 2013, at the age of 93.
