Galerie Jean-François Cazeau
T'ang Haywen , France
"La peinture comme philosophie : le Tao de T'ang Haywen"
A grand master of ink in the second half of the 20th century, the work of T’ang Haywen (1927-1991) reveals a profound universe, full of sensitivity and intensity. His production is focused on landscape and marked by the use of ink. Fascinated by the calligraphic work of his grandfather and by the work of Shitao, a great calligrapher, poet, and landscapist of the Ming dynasty of the 17th century, which marks the break with traditional Chinese style, T’ang decided to devote his life to painting. T’ang mastered the ancient, fundamental art of his country – ink – and followed the precepts of the also millennia-old philosophy of Taoism, which gave China its political and cultural foundations: a life in harmony with the universe and nature.
