Catalogue of exhibition of paintings by David Kwo, featuring over 50 significant pieces of the late artist.

'From landscapes and figures to flowers and birds, David Kwo painted a variety of subjects interpreted through traditional Chinese brush techniques and Western styles. He is most famous for his portrayal of small animals, especially cats and dogs that became his hallmark. On display are paintings influenced by Fauvism, the Bauhaus, Cubism and Abstract Expressionism.

'Kwo’s artistic tendency, the assimilation of Eastern and Western techniques and an integration of the artist’s varied training and influences, lasted a lifetime. Kwo sought to build a bridge between his native and adopted culture that allowed a conciliation of the two. He blended the disciplined art of calligraphic brushstrokes and composition with Western emphasis on freedom, creativity and improvisation.' - extracted from the press release.

The present catalogue includes essay by Chen Jiazi which offers an in-depth analysis of Kwo's works. With chronology of the artist.
