a glimpse on wu guanzhong's donations

we had finally managed to visit wu's exhibition in the Hong Kong Museum of Arts....
here're the pictures taken by my iphone, hope the photo quality is not too bad to view.


Two swallows 1981 Ink and colour on paper
"Across the painting surface, the whitewashed wall dominates like an immaculate princess dressed in white. The black doors and window stand out, cutting up the wall into novel planes that rejuvenate the old looks. In essence, the East and the West are no different aesthetically. Despite the absence of swallows, Mondrian would have been impressed by the minimalist oriental dwellings.” Wu Guanzhong



Bitter melon homestead 1998 Oil on canvas
"The bitter melon plant bears bitter melon fruits. This is blood. This is destiny. Time and again, halos and wreaths, they are the fruits of nothing but bitterness. Bitter melons are not bitter since, as I have inscribed, I have fully tasted the bitterest of the bitterest."
Wu Guanzhong
