Robert Jay Wolff Paintings
American, 1905-1978
Robert Jay Wolff studied at the Chicago Art Institute (1928) and in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts (1929-1930). Following his return to the United States in 1932, Wolff opened a studio in Chicago and exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute. In 1937, he became a member of the Abstract American Artists and exhibited with the group. In 1938, he helped form the Chicago Institute of Design along with Gyorgy Kepes and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. The Institute is considered an American revival of the German Bauhaus school. Wolff later served as a professor at Brooklyn College where he became department chairman and organized the first Bauhaus-based arts program in a liberal arts college in the United States.(Biography provided by David Cook Galleries)

Wai Ming's love for art flourished and he developed his drawing techniques without any art education, just painting what he saw. In the 1960s, Ming found representation in Hong Kong and also took the unusual step of opening his own gallery to display his work. His primary interest was to capture images of life in fishing villages, or 'fish-folk', who have retained traditional Chinese culture, his work was at home with the sensibilities of many art buyers in Hong Kong, and so was able to find some initial success. Crossing the ocean in his mid-30s, Wai Ming arrived in San Francisco from Hong Kong in 1974.
