Lot Essay

Tseng Yuho, also known as Betty Ecke, studied traditional Chinese painting under renowned artists Qi Gong and Prince Pu Jin when she was young. She graduated from Fu Jen University in Beijing in 1942 and married art historian Gustav Ecke in 1946. The couple moved to Honolulu, Hawaii in 1949 where she developed her career as an academic and an artist.

Tseng is best known for using experimental techniques in her semi-abstract landscape paintings, most notably collages she created by tearing and layering coloured handmade papers, in which she named “dsui hua” painting.
