ZAO WOU-KI (Beijing, 1921 - Nyon, Switzerland, 2013). "Zoo-4," 1986. Aquatint etching, copy H.C. 4/15. Signed and justified by hand. Measurements: 56 x 40.5 cm (print); 63 x 48 cm (paper); 86 x 70 cm (frame). Even in engravings, Zao Wou-Ki works with large masses of satin color that implode configuring germinal big bangs, sublime and primordial landscapes as in this occasion. Zao Wou Ki was born into a Franco-Chinese family and grew up in a very cultured environment, interested in the arts and sciences. He studied calligraphy in his childhood, an aspect that would influence his mature work, and later trained in painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Hangzhou between 1935-1941. A few years later, in 1948, he settled in Paris, in the Montparnasse district, where he would follow the artistic courses of Émile Othon Friesz and come into contact with the contemporary artistic avant-garde. He begins to experiment with lithography, a technique that he eventually mastered, as a result of his contact with Desjobert. He holds a solo exhibition at the Creuze Gallery in May 1949, with a presentation written by Bernard Dorival, curator of the National Museum of Modern Art. In January 1951 Pierre Loeb visits Wou-Ki's studio with Henri Michaux, organizing an exhibition at the Pierre Gallery for June, thus laying the foundations for a close collaborative relationship that would last six years. Thus, he exhibits regularly at the Pierre Gallery, and meets I. M. Pei and his wife Eileen, opening his circle of exhibitions to Switzerland, London, Basel and Lausanne, as well as in New York, Washington and Chicago. It is Michaux who writes the catalog presentation for his first New York exhibition, at the Cadly-Birch Gallery.
