Biography:
C.C. Wang practiced both art and connoisseurship, one of the last in a long tradition of Chinese scholar-artists. Known as much for his skills in authenticating and collecting as his skills with a brush, C.C. Wang helped to establish stricter evaluation standards in American museums for Chinese art. Years of studying collections throughout China made C.C. Wang a preeminent expert in antique scroll paintings and his ability to spot forgeries made him an invaluable tool in New York museums, where he settled after 1949. Because of his strong interest in antique paintings, his personal style remained traditional long after he settled in America. During the 1960s his style did, however, synthesize traditional Chinese and Western influences. His main tools continued to be ink and paper, but C.C. Wang began to include impressed textures, planned compositions based on formal abstractions, and an intuitive use of warm and cool colors.
