    George Chann AKA Chen Yinpi (Chinese American, 1913-1995) Abstract Expressionist Oil on Masonite, Ca. 1968, 'Untitled', H 15.5" W 17.5"

    Est: $2,000 - $4,000

    Signed lower right. Ankrum Gallery, LA label verso. Inventory #GC18. According to Ankrum Gallery records that correspond to this inventory number, this work was originally titled "Chang handed me this tracing". It was accompanied with a poem: "Chang handed me this tracing/ I who am fond of antiquity/ Those old relics/ Mine is a happy life/ I looked up at a pinnacle/ The fine clouds have opened/ For behind me is my own country/ There are rocks and fisherman on boat/ The moon grows full now over them".  Born in Guangdong Province, China, Chann emigrated to the US in 1922. After completing his formal art education and several solo exhibitions, Chann fled China as the revolution progressed and eventually returned to Los Angeles where his work explored abstraction with calligraphic influences. Chann is known to have written Chinese calligraphy poems daily and it is not often that one of his poems can be directly traced to one of his paintings or watercolors.  Provenance: Ankrum Gallery, Los Angeles verso with inventory label GC18Property of a Zionsville, IN private collector.

    George Chann (Chinese/American, 1913-1995) Untitled, c. 1960 oil on canvas signed G. Chann (lower right) 24 x 18 inches. Provenance: The Collection of Anthony Zhor, Los Angeles Vallarino Fine Art, New York Lot Note: Marking a significant chapter in the history of Chinese contemporary art, the works of George Chann (Chinese/American, 1913-1995) merged familiar ties with modern influences. His oeuvre can be read in two stages: portraits and landscapes prior to 1950, and the dynamic, abstract works that would follow.   Chann’s studies in calligraphy can be seen in his primarily monochromatic yet richly varied layers and textures, forcing his paintings off the canvas and into the third dimension. His use of visual language bridged between both eastern and western styles, combining bold brushwork, vibrant color, and intricate forms to illustrate his intrinsically unique response to and involvement in Abstract Expressionism.   Though selling little of his own work, Chann worked every day at the easel in the back room of his San Francisco shop for 40 years, only posthumously receiving the recognition he was due. It is considering such that we are pleased to present to you in this sale two of his works, Untitled, c. 1960, acquired directly from the artist, and Untitled, c. 1960, acquired from his friend and champion, Anthony Zhor.
