C. Wang is celebrated as one of the foremost Chinese painting connoisseurs and collectors of the 20th century. He was also a creative artist and a dedicated educator, and through his own practice and teaching, he devoted himself to continuing the evolution of Chinese painting.During his early years in China, following the literati tradition, Wang studied painting with Gu Linshi and Wu Hufan. Therefore, his early work often represents characteristics learned from Song and Yuan masters and the Qing orthodox school, such as lot 8027, an elegant example of Wang's early painting made in 1930. After arriving in New York in 1949, Wang enrolled at the Arts Students League studying Western painting, and often visited museums and galleries to view European and American art. The experience of being exposed to Western art, as well as witnessing the Abstraction Expressionism movement in New York in the 1950's, inspired Wang to experiment by painting with impromptu, spontaneous brushwork. While still following traditional Chinese painting principles and using brushes to depict details - villages, winding paths, waterfalls, and trees, Wang began to employ crumpled paper dipped with ink as an alternative brush, thereby helping him to create more serendipitous compositions and variegated textures. Paintings created with this techniques can be seen here as lot 8046 and lot 8047.
