Ink on paper. Scholars on Boats. Signed A Xiong, with one seal mark of the artist. Walasse Ting (1929–2010), Chinese-American painter and poet, was renowned for his vivid palette and sensuous imagery. Born in Wuxi, China, he moved to Paris in the 1950s, aligning with the CoBrA group, and later to New York, where he absorbed Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. His iconic depictions of women, flowers, and animals blend Eastern calligraphy with Western spontaneity. Ting’s landmark book 1 Cent Life (1964) paired his poetry with prints by Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Mitchell. His works are represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Tate, and the Centre Pompidou, affirming his legacy as a leading postwar international artist.
