SANYU, His Life and Complete Works in Oil
(Volume One: His Life)
[Chinese and English versions out of print]

Volume One of Sanyu, His Life and Complete Works in Oil draws upon archival material, photographs, letters, and stories recounted by people who knew him to trace Sanyu’s life from his early years in China and Japan to his tragic death in Paris, impoverished and forgotten. We follow him from his journey in 1920 to Paris, where he delved into the world of sketching from live models, to his exploration of and lifelong commitment to painting in oil, to his continued participation in Salon and other exhibitions, hoping for the success that was never to be, to his experiences in New York, and back to Paris, where he matured as an artist despite insurmountable difficulties.

Today, Sanyu is one of the most respected and admired of modern Chinese artists, attracting the attention of scholars, his works coveted by collectors. An examination of his life reveals that it was precisely the polarities and tensions Sanyu experienced that spurred him to create a unique pictorial language that dynamically integrated the spirit of Western modernity with centuries-old Chinese traditions. Sanyu metamorphosed from a Chinese artist of the modern period to a modernist with Chinese cultural roots. These intersecting dynamics resulted in a hybridization previously unseen.
