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 (19001980) and his American contemporary Mark Tobey (18901976). Essays by Jo-Anne Birnie Danzker and David Clarke consider Tengs influence as both a cultural interpreter and an artistic practitioner on the development of Tobeys distinctive artistic practice and through Tobey on the discourse on abstraction in midcentury American art.
