Books

The art books that stay with me, and what each one shows of colour.

Zao Wou-Ki, Dominique de Villepin

Zao Wou-Ki

Dominique de Villepin

A monograph devoted to the French-Chinese painter Zao Wou-Ki (1920-2013), whose work brings Chinese calligraphy and Western abstraction into dialogue. The book follows the way colour becomes space: canvases where light does not come from a source, but from the matter itself.
