Mark Tobey / Teng Baiye

Mark Tobey and Teng Baiye: Seattle / Shanghai is the first book to explore artistic and intellectual exchanges between Chinese artist Teng Baiye (1900¿1980) and his American contemporary Mark Tobey (1890¿1976). Essays by Jo-Anne Birnie Danzker and David Clarke consider Teng¿s influence as both a cultural interpreter and an artistic practitioner on the development of Tobey¿s distinctive artistic practice and ¿ through Tobey ¿ on the discourse on abstraction in midcentury American art.
