Untitled Possibly 1962

Zao Wou-Ki’s Untitled, likely created in 1962, exemplifies his abstract style. Utilizing gestural brushstrokes and washes of color, he evokes a sense of energy and movement. This piece showcases his exploration of ink and wash, a technique rooted in traditional Chinese art. This dynamic work, with its prominent verticality, echoes the artist's fascination with nature and his desire to capture the essence of the natural world. The work reveals the influence of both his Chinese heritage and his embrace of Western abstract expressionism, making it a compelling piece of mid-century modern art.
