Views of China through the paint strokes of Eddie Chau.
Sketching Hong Kong--The Drawings of Eddie Chau is a panoramic record of Hong Kong by the Indonesian-Chinese painter Eddie Chau. A testament to geographical history, each painting is a passage in Hong Kong's story, each stroke a moment in time. This book serves as a retrospective of Chau's art through his early years in Bandung, his coming-of-age in Guangdong, and his final decades in Hong Kong.Author Biography
