As well absorbing European influences while at The Slade, Tseng Yu was also harking back nostalgically to the folk art of his friend Huang Yun Yu and his own memories of peasant life in the northern China of his childhood. Fishing is one of a series of paintings exhibited at the Arthur Jeffress Gallery, Mayfair, from 6th September to 1st October 1955. Other paintings in this exhibition included Peking Childhood and Nostalgia, which were sold.

The purpose of this blog is to celebrate the work of two artists, Tseng Yu and Huang Yun Yu, my friendship with both of them in Hong Kong 1951-2 and with Tseng Uu subsequently in london and paris. Please start by clicking on Backstory then my first meeting with Huang Yun Yu below. After that, wander freely among their pictures, plus my photographs and stories about us all taken from my diary and letters home. These last are still being posted, in random order.
