This semester the Colby College Museum of Art invites you to discover the work of Chinese-French artist Zao Wou-Ki (1920–2013), who immigrated from Beijing to Paris after WWII and established himself among post-war art circles.

His interpretation of abstract art conjoins European modernism with Chinese metaphysical principles.
This exhibition is the first retrospective of the work of Zao Wou-Ki in the US.
