Artists in conversation
Hans Hartung
French-German · b. 1904
Hartung's lyrical abstract lithographs share Zao Wou-Ki's gestural energy and synthesis of Eastern calligraphic impulses with Western abstraction, producing emotionally charged color compositions with a similar poetic sensibility.
Pierre Soulages
French · b. 1919
Soulages worked extensively in printmaking including lithography and shares Zao Wou-Ki's engagement with light, color, and abstract mark making that bridges Eastern brush traditions with European modernism.
Sam Francis
American · b. 1923
Francis produced celebrated color lithographs on fine paper featuring luminous abstract fields that echo Zao Wou-Ki's lyrical abstraction, vibrant color harmonies, and the poetic fusion of gestural freedom with deliberate composition.
