    No limits : Zao Wou-Ki

Abstract

The Chinese-French painter Zao Wou-Ki (1920-2013) developed a distinctive abstract style blending the visual poetry of Chinese painting and calligraphy with European pictorial traditions. This volume presents the artist's life and work. The essays consider the reception of Zao's work in the United States, his engagement with postwar abstraction, and his exploration of various artistic media.
