About the Item

MAGENTA HORSE, THREE GEISHAS is an original lithograph printed using hand drawn lithography techniques on archival Somerset printmaking paper, 100% acid free, by the renowned Chinese born artist Walasse Ting (DING XIONGQUAN, Chinese, 1929-2010). Ting's use of bold colors and expressive calligraphic brush drawn forms convey vivid life energy. He is well known for his colorful images of women, flowers, fish, parrots and horses and was associated with artists Karel Appel, Asger Jorn, and Pierre Alechinsky, members of the avant-garde group called COBRA. Throughout his artistic life, Ting imbued his passion and spirit into his paintings, poetry and sculpture. MAGENTA HORSE, THREE GEISHAS is a freely expressed Chinese Ink Brush drawing depicting a colorful magenta horse with dark purple black mane and tail standing with three lovely Asian women, two holding colorful parrots, and decorative fan, one holding a vase of colorful flowers, all wearing long solid color robes in shades of lime green, dark blue, and cool red; all three displaying feminine beauty. This splendid scene exemplifies Ting's love of nature and color with its combination of cerulean blue, magenta, dark blue, dark green, lime green, touches of pink, yellow, orange, dark purple. Print size - 17.75 x 23.25 inches, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Walasse Ting Edition size - 200 Year published - 1981 Printer - JK Fine Art Editions Co., NY Artist statement: “ When I see a beautiful woman I see flowers. Its beauty makes me feel intangible, melancholy, love, refreshed, different and reborn. I want to use different colors to express my inner feelings and emotions in my paintings. I’ve spent all my life painting, to express a sense of freshness just like a new spring. Women, cats, flowers, and birds in my paintings all represent the beauty in that freshness.” About the Artist - Walasse Ting was born in Shanghai, China in 1929. In 1953 Walasse moved to Paris where he met contemporary artists such as Pierre Alechinsky, Asger Jorn and Karel Appel. While in Paris he also became affiliated with the artistic group COBRA, which was formed by Appel, Jorn and others to promote the avant-garde art movement. In 1963 he left Paris and resettled in New York City, and there he met other artists such as Sam Francis, Tom Wesselman and Claes Oldenberg. During the 1960s, Walasse's style developed from one of expressionism to pop-art, often depicting nude women painted in bright, vibrant color schemes. In 1970 Walasse won the Guggenheim Fellowship Award for drawing.
