Hardcover. Condition: New. In this generously illustrated volume, the distinguished teacher, author, and critic Joyce Brodsky brings together works by the expatriate Chinese painter Yun Gee and his Chinese American daughter, Li-lan, exploring connections between each artist's life and paintings. Yun Gee (1906-1963) was born in China, emigrated as a young man to San Francisco, and after living there and in Paris, spent the latter part of his life in New York City. Li-lan was born in New York to Yun Gee and Helen Wimmer Gee. She still lives and works in and near the city of her birth but has also spent long periods in Japan and more recently in China. Father and daughter alike exemplify the desire to live and work in freedom from the restrictions of national identity, a choice that permits openness to different cultures. For Yun Gee and Li-lan, this openness was never a reflection of trends in the art world but was an element of life itself, fully embraced and therefore embodied in each artist's paintings. Both artists can be understood as cosmopolitan and transnational figures - citizens, in Homi Bhabha's terms, of contemporary culture's "middle passage." This book, then, although not primarily theoretical, is informed by ideas of hybridity, transnationalism, and cosmopolitanism. As artists who have embraced multinational, multicultural, and multiracial experiences, Yun Gee and Li-lan have combined those experiences intrinsically, sometimes in spite of the pain that such a complex passage may entail. Li-lan was exposed to Yun Gee's paintings and his cultural sophistication when she was a child, and this exposure was crucial to her artistic being. In turn, she has broadened and deepened the audience for her father's art through her archival work, her conservation of and her efforts to encourage exhibitions of his work.…

Couverture souple/livre broché. Condition: Bon. Livre HENRY-JACQUES. Le voyageur de nuit. Illustrations de Yun Gee peintre chinois. Paris: Editions du monde moderne [1930]. 1 volume in-8 de 245 pages, 2 planches hors texte, broché. Exemplaire No 495 (un des 1420 sur papier vélin "Alfax" des papeteries Lafuma Navarre). Tirage limité à 1520 exemplaires. Yun Gee (1906-1963) est un artiste moderniste sino-américain. Il a vécu et peint à San Francisco, Paris et New York, et est considéré comme l'un des peintres d'avant-garde les plus audacieux de son temps. Ce livre rare, publié en France juste avant le retour de Yun Gee en Amérique après trois années passés à à Paris, est probablement son seul et unique travail d'illustration de livre. Il était alors considéré comme l'un des artistes modernistes sino- américains les plus importants de son temps; les deux planches en couleur du livre reflètent l'influence cubiste, l'une tentant de mélanger le modernisme européen avec un thème chinois. Couverture tachée et défraîchie, quelques rousseurs assez rares. [2]. Yun Gee (illustrator). Livre.…
