Dong Qiang: An International Artist and His Returnable China--An Examination of Zao Wou-Ki’s Artistic Odyssey Based on Autobiography
The “paths” through which we can approach an abstract painting are limited, making it challenging to provide interpretations beyond visual appreciation. This is particularly true when considering artists like Zao Wou-Ki, who firmly believed that his paintings conveyed a clear expression and required no verbal narration. Meanwhile, it is noteworthy that Zao consistently sought the company of language. His close-knit companionship with French poets and critics, and the almost regular “dialogues” h

Xu Jiang: The Infinite Style
It has been ten years since Zao Wou-Ki passed away. Looking up at his smiling face, I always feel a tinge of warmth in my heart. In the early summer of 1985, I studied with him at his workshop for a full month. I drew two human bodies and one portrait. The subject of the portrait was Lalan, Madame Zao herself. The works remain with me and serve as a reminder of that period. My memories are as vivid as ever. Three decades have since passed and I cannot help wondering how quickly time has passed.
