About the Item

A colorful abstract expressionist oil painting from Chinese American artist John Way (aka Wei Letang). Way was born in Shanghai, China and as a child he trained with the masters in ancient calligraphy. In 1956, Way emigrated to the United States and embraced the exciting work of America's East Coast modern art movement. For the past sixty years, Way has attempted to bring these two seemingly diverse art forms in harmony through his paintings. Throughout the 1960s, Way had held many solo shows in Boston, including one in Nexus Gallery in 1960 and one in MIT's Art Museum in 1968. In 1965, his work was shown alongside other well-acclaimed contemporary artists including Hans Hartung and Andy Warhol, in a joint exhibition "Painting Without a Brush" held at the Accademia del Verbano in Italy. His works are in the collections of both the Stanford University Art Museum and the San Francisco Art Museum. Oil on paper mounted on canvas, signed and dated 73 lower left, titled on verso gallery label “A Motif from Pottery, 1973” and housed in a floating modern frame. Dimensions: 19 in H x 24 in W, actual; 19.63 in H x 24.63 in W x 1.5 in D. See our other John Way paintings listed. Ref: 874
