Join the HCAG during Asia Art Week New York for a curatorial tour and reception of “C. C. Wang: Lines of Abstraction”

Leubsdorf Gallery

<p>Led by exhibition co-curator Daniel M. Greenberg, this walkthrough will introduce viewers to the life and art of C.C. Wang (1907-2003).  Born to a family of scholar-officials at the twilight of the Qing dynasty, Wang mastered the traditional ink and brush techniques in Republican Shanghai and immigrated to New York City in 1949.  Although he is well known for his discerning connoisseurial eye and world class collection of classical Chinese art, Wang’s own artistic practice has long been overlooked.  In this walkthrough, we will explore how Wang built upon both his deep knowledge of Chinese painting and the artistic climate in postwar New York to create distinctly cross-cultural works of modern American art.  </p>
