LI FANG (1933-2020) Sommerliche Rythmen 1968 signé et daté 1968 huile sur toile signed and dated 1968 oil on canvas 79 x 79 cm. 31 1/8 x 31 1/8 in. Footnotes: Provenance Collection de l'artiste, Suisse Puis par descendance au propriétaire actuel Co-fondatrice et seule femme artiste du Fifth Moon Group crée à Taïwan en 1956, Li Fang se libère des règles de la peinture asiatique traditionnelle. Dans un contexte d'après-guerre propice à la rupture et sous l'influence de Chu Teh-Chun, alors professeur à l'université Normale Nationale de Taïwan, l'artiste s'ouvre vers la création artistique occidentale. L'art de Li Fang se caractérise par une spontanéité du geste, une vivacité cinglante, des aplats de couleurs vibrantes, fusion de la tradition de l'art chinois hérité et de l'art occidental désiré. Ses œuvres subtiles, d'une grande modernité ont su séduire les collectionneurs les plus avisés, ainsi que les plus importants musées d'Asie, le Taipei Fine Arts Museum, le Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts ou encore le Museum M + d'Hong Kong West Kowloon. Les œuvres que nous proposons lors de cette vacation ont été conservées dans la collection de l'artiste puis dans celle de ses enfants jusqu'à ce jour. Co-founder and only female artist in the Fifth Moon Group, founded in Taiwan in 1956, Li Fang broke free from the rules of traditional Asian painting. Under the influence of Chu Teh-Chun, then a professor at Taiwan's national teacher training institution, Li Fang opened up to Western artistic creation in a post-war context conducive to dissidence. Li Fang's art is characterised by spontaneity of gesture, sharp vivacity, and vibrant flat tints of colour, a fusion of the inherited Chinese tradition art and the admired Western art. Her subtle, highly modern works have won over the most discerning collectors, as well as Asia's leading museums, including the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum M + in Hong Kong West Kowloon. The works we are offering at this sale have remained in the artist's collection, and subsequently in that of her children. This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * * VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU. TVA sur les objets importés à un taux réduit de 5.5% sur le prix d'adjudication et un taux en vigueur sur la prime d'achat dans le cas où l'objet reste dans l'Union Européenne.
