Description

Fans of Pang Tseng-Ying will appreciate this framed poster commemorating the exhibition of his work in 1980 in Los Angeles.  Measures 22" x 38".  This piece was purchased at a CBT auction years ago and now makes its way back for another family to enjoy.


Born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1916, Pang Tseng-Ying grew up in Beijing, China, where he began a conventional art education when he was little. He had practiced Chinese calligraphy since his childhood under his mother’s instruction, and studied traditional Chinese painting from an early age. He was accepted by the Jinghua College of Art at the Beiping University in Beijing at 18, where he focused his study on Western painting. He held his first solo exhibition at New York’s Argent Gallery in 1954, putting on display the works he painted in the Mainland, Taiwan, and Tokyo. The exhibition received prominent media coverage. A member of the modern painting movement during the 1950s and 60s, Pang had produced numerous oil paintings during the years he spent in Taiwan. In 1965 Pang received the highest national honor, the Chiang Kai-shek Award. In 1966 he took up the residency in the U.S., where he garnered attention and praise from the art circle, cementing his status among seminal modern painters.
