Chinese American Artist

William S. Hung

was a masterful painter whose Works display a profound 
knowledge of the traditions and techniques of both East and West.

In harmony of composition and precision of execution,
they reflect the restraint and refinement of the Chinese tradition. In the
use of gauzy layers of color to build images from flakes of light,
he recalled the 19th century French artists, while his subjects are
often reminiscent of classical sources. Extraordinarily gifted and
thoroughly schooled, he produced exquisitely sensitive,
intellectually provocative, and delicately rendered portraits and nudes.
