‡ ZAO WOU-KI 趙無極 (Chinese-French, 1920-2013) etching with aquatint - Composition I from Randonnées (Rambles), Ågerup 257, signed (in Pinyin and Chinese) and dated in pencil 74, unumbered, (pl) 24 x 18.5cmsProvenance: private collection MonmouthshireAuctioneer's Notes: This composition is the first of five created for the book Randonnées (Rambles) by Roger Caillois. It was printed by Atelier Bellini and published by Yves Rivière in 1974. There were also three artist’s proofs and 4 hors commerce (out of trade) impressions on Japan paper. A master of post-war art and among the highest-selling Chinese painters of his generation, Zao Wou-Ki synthesized tenets of modernism, calligraphy, and traditional Chinese landscape painting. Using primarily oil paint, watercolor, and eventually ink, Zao developed a unique style defined by contrasting colours, intense linework, and lyrical abstraction. Like traditional Chinese landscapes, Zao’s paintings function as fragments of larger scenes and possess a fluidity, transparency, and graceful luminosity that reflect the interior energies of the artist himself. Zao cited Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso as early influences. In 1948, he moved to Paris, where he immersed himself in the city’s avant-garde scene and befriended artists including Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miro and Sam Francis. During his lifetime, Zao exhibited worldwide. He received the Japan Art Association’s Praemium Imperiale Award for Painting and the Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur. Today, his work can be found in the collections of the Louvre, Pomidou Centre, the Gudggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Tate.Literature: Ågerup, J. (1994).
