Revolutionary ink

"This first-ever major retrospective exhibition celebrates the sixty-year career of Wu Guanzhong (1919-2010), one of China's most significant and admired twentieth century artists. Organized in collaboration with the Shanghai Art Museum, the exhibition traces the artist's development in the medium of ink painting from the mid-1970s through 2004. Works on view represent Wu's radical individual approach integrating European modernism and abstract expressionism with traditional Chinese ink painting."--Publisher's website.
