C.C. Wang, a renowned connoisseur and collector of pre-modern Chinese art, achieved fame during the twentieth century, often overshadowing his own artistic contributions. Lines of Abstraction, a comprehensive catalog spanning seven decades, sheds light on Wang's artistic explorations. Focusing on his distinctive fusion of Chinese literati ink art and American postwar abstraction, the catalog delves into Wang's artistic journey.
Born into a scholarly-official family at the twilight of the Qing dynasty, Wang honed his traditional ink and brush techniques in Republican China before immigrating to New York City. There, he embarked on a quest to perfect the literati painting, a genre deeply rooted in Chinese artist-intellectuals, combining calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Drawing inspiration from both the historic art form and the artistic climate of New York following World War II, Wang pioneered groundbreaking transformations in ink painting.
Twenty years after his passing, a remarkable exhibition of Wang's art was organized in 2023, featuring his works at two prestigious venues: Hunter College and the University of Minnesota. The exhibition catalog, published in conjunction with the show, showcases one hundred color images and includes insightful contributions from Daniel Greenberg and Joseph Scheier-Dolberg.
Through his artistic endeavors, C.C. Wang not only enriched the world's understanding of pre-modern Chinese art but also left an indelible mark on the art world, showcasing his exceptional talent and vision. His legacy continues to inspire and captivate audiences, reminding us of the profound impact of cultural exchange and artistic exploration.
