Zao Wou-Ki, L’Oeuvre peint, 1935-1993, (Book) by Pierre Daix, journalist, writer and French art historian. Hardcover, Like new, Edition of 2000 Copies only, Editions Ides et Calendes. in French.
As different as they are, Zao Wou-Ki’s canvases, since he created his personal language at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century, bear his signature at each point of their composition, the signature of a art in a strange country where spaces from the field of cosmology and the signs of ancestral China are based with spaces born from modern liberation here, from perspective, from Cézanne to this lyrical abstraction which took off after the second World War.
Zao Wou-Ki’s painting is part of the immemorial lineage of Chinese art because instead of following it, it raises questions about the meaning of art, more precisely the meaning of painting, born of our western modernity, born from the revolutions effected in painting when it emancipated in France from masterpieces that were considered unsurpassable of the Renaissance.
