Mark Tobey and Teng Baiye: Seattle / Shanghai

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.
