This drawing of St Paul's from across the river is by Tseng Yu, a young Chinese artist whose paintings and etchings are now on view at the Arthur Jeffress Gallery.'The beauty of London' he writes, 'lies not on her bright flower and tender trees but on her dirt, filth, rust, smog and the magnificent slum and swamp along the bank of the Thames'.

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.
