In
the early 20th century when diverse modern art movements thrived, Wu
Dayu (1903–1988) went to Paris — the art hub where avant-garde artists from all
over the world gathered — and immersed himself in Impressionism, Cubism, and
Fauvism. Fusing color theories with expressions of form, Chinese calligraphy
with literati painting, Wu evinced the idea of shixiang, or Dynamic Expressionism, which amalgamated light and
color, tone and hue. This profoundly influenced a generation of disciples who
would later become iconic abstract painters, such as Zao Wou-Ki, Chu Teh-Chun,
and Wu Guanzhong. Wu Dayu’s pioneering approach helped shape the postwar
Eastern abstract art scene, aligning it with Western trends, cementing his
position as a founding figure in Chinese abstract art.
