About the author
Chu Teh-Chun (1920-2014)
Chu Teh-Chun’s work is rooted in a dual tradition. That of classical Chinese painting and calligraphy, and that of modern Western painting, which he discovered and studied at the Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts from 1935. His encounter with the work of Nicolas de Staël marked a turning point. His painting freed itself from figuration and his palette was enriched by a wide variety of colors and nuances. His inspirations and the emotions he translates into his works with great subtlety are imbued with Chinese poetry, classical music and opera.
