Cheong Soo Pieng was a pioneer artist who created visually fresh pictures of Southeast Asia's landscapes and people. By marrying the artistic traditions of the East and West, he broke new ground in the way the tropics were portrayed. From painting to sculpture and mixed media, Cheong Soo Pieng's works single him out as the most versatile and experimental artist of his generation.
This book is the first of its kind on Cheong Soo Pieng. Never before have his key works been so comprehensively and beautifully reproduced in book form. Through 199 illustrations - old photographs, hitherto unpublished sketches - and 94 colour plates, the artist's dedication to his craft is brought to life. Cheong Soo Pieng: Visions of Southeast Asia is a testament to his legacy.
