Seeing the Kites Again: The Wu Guanzhong Donation Collection

Wu Guanzhong has gone further than any of his contemporaries in fusing Western and Chinese art traditions, and stands as one of the greatest artists of 20th-century China. A prolific artist and essayist, Wu was one of the few Chinese artists to have established a name for himself both in Asia and the West. This beautiful volume featuring essays, over 100 artwork images and a detailed biographical timeline, celebrates Wu’s art, life, remarkable achievements and donation to Singapore—the single largest donation made by the Chinese master to any public museum.
