This is the catalogue for Cheung Yee’s solo exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art in 1993. Writing about the significance of Cheung’s art, the curator of the show writes, ‘Cheung Yee was one of the pioneers to introduce modern ideas into Chinese sculpture in the fifties and sixties… From an international context, Cheung Yee is the first Chinese sculptor to bring before an international audience modern sculptures impregnated with Chinese ideas… Cheung’s art is rooted in the metropolitan culture of Hong Kong, and he is one of the artists who succeeds in blending the East and the West in his art.’ A detailed biography of the artist is included in this publication.



此書是張義於1993年在香港藝術館舉辦個展的圖錄。是次活動的策展人對張義的藝術成就有以下的評價:「至五六十年代中國雕塑與現代思潮相融而有新面貌,張義是其中的開拓者。從横向的時代發展看,在世界現代藝術潮流中,先有華裔藝術家以繪畫突破地域的界限,將帶有中國文化思想的藝術裝置於西方藝壇,張義則是率先以富中國色彩的雕塑,跨進國際藝壇。從錯綜的文化層面看,張義是植根於中西文化交流的香港,他是以先驅者的身份,成功地融合中西文化的特色於其藝術創作中,他是在兩大文化滙流中沖刷出來的藝術家。」本圖錄亦附有張義的創作紀要。
