Cheong Soo Pieng: Visions of Southeast Asia Hardback
by Yeo Wei Wei, Grace Tng, Seng Yu Jin
Edited by Yeo Wei Wei
Hardback
Description
Cheong Soo Pieng was an artist who created visually fresh pictures of Southeast Asia's landscapes and people by marrying the artistic traditions of the East and the West.
Common Southeast Asian subjects, such as people busy drying fish or the graceful figure of a Balinese dancer, take on new stylised forms through Cheong's deft use of pictorial devices and techniques from different cultures and traditions.
This book is the first of its kind on Cheong, presenting the reader with the breadth and complexity of this Nanyang artist's extensive oeuvre.
The chapters include a wealth of personal photographs as well as the latest research on the artist.
