About the Item

SIX GEISHA WITH FLOWERS is an original hand drawn lithograph 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(Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam). Throughout his artistic life, Ting imbued his passion and spirit into his paintings, poetry and sculpture. SIX GEISHA WITH FLOWERS is a freely expressed Chinese Ink Brush group portrait depicting six robed women, wearing colorful flower blossoms in their dark violet and dark green long hair; their kimonos in bright shades of pink, yellow, light orange, lime green, violet and blue. The women stand together against an eye-appealing teal blue background with two of them holding vases of colorful flower blossoms. Additional small details include a grasshopper fan, orange shawl, and demure facial expressions all adding to the appealing combination of visual delights. Print size - 21 x 29 inches, unframed, excellent condition, vivid colors, hand signed in pencil by Walasse Ting Edition size - 200, plus proofs 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.

Her work pays homage to 19th-century naturalist and artist John James Audubon. Goldman’s sun-dappled still life compositions, sprays of cut flowers in glass vases and lush flora growing in natural environments frame each setting and cast shadows across opened books that display images from Audubon’s Birds of America.
