ZAO Wou-Ki (1920-2013) was a Chinese-French painter who is recognized as one of the most important figures of the École de Paris (School of Paris) art movement. He was born in Beijing, China and later moved to France in 1948, where he spent the rest of his life.
ZAO Wou-Ki’s work is characterized by a fusion of Eastern and Western artistic traditions. His paintings often feature abstract landscapes and calligraphic brushstrokes that evoke a sense of movement and rhythm. He was influenced by the works of artists such as Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Chinese calligraphers.
Throughout his career, ZAO Wou-Ki received numerous awards and honors, including the Legion of Honor in France and the Order of the Rising Sun in Japan.
His work has been exhibited in major art museums around the world, including the National Museum of China, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
