Abstract Character by Wu Dayu (1903-1988) captures the artist's innovative approach to colour and abstraction. Known for blending Eastern ink traditions with Western modernism, Wu was a key figure in developing Chinese contemporary art. This piece reflects his late works, often untitled, where he uses rhythmic color to depict fleeting impressions of life rather than realistic depictions. Influenced by Cubism and Fauvism, Wu emphasizes freedom in form, focusing on emotional expression rather than accurate representation. The work demonstrates Wu's mastery of colour and structure, creating depth through the dynamic use of brushstrokes and hues.
