signed and dated (lower left), oil on canvas (Dimensions: 49cm x 62.5cm (19.25in x 24.6in)) (49cm x 62.5cm (19.25in x 24.6in)) Footnote: Literature: Huang, Michelle Ying-Ling, Laurence Binyon: A Pioneering and Authoritative Curator of Chinese Painting in Early Twentieth-Century Britain, Museum History Journal, 8:1, January 2015, p.52, figure 4 (illustrated). Exhibited: Probably exhibited at The Fine Art Society, London, Teng-Hiok Chiu, 1936, no.37. “Since I used to play amidst the beautiful temples and pine trees or on the sandy beach, I have wanted to appreciate the best in nature and to be able to help everyone else to do so. As I go forward I realize increasingly that it is not a matter of East or West, someday there will be Art from a New World Civilization, the creation of which, as a painter, I wish to contribute to. Art is a universal language that speaks to every human heart.” (Extract from Teng Chiu, "A Chinese Painter's Exhibition in Europe," Monitor, (August 1928), Museum School Library, Boston.) Born in Xiamen, Fujian Provence in 1903 to a prestigious family, Teng-Hiok Chiu (Zhou Tingxu; also known as Teng Chiu, 1903–1972) had the opportunity to study abroad from a young age. By 1924 he had enrolled in the University of London, and in 1925 studied Western painting under the tutelage of Sir George Clausen, Sir Walter Russell and Charles Sims at the Royal Academy Schools. He became the first foreigner to be granted membership of the Royal Society of British Artists. Chiu also trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and Paris, but he reached the turning point in his career when working alongside his mentor Laurence Binyon, a renowned Oriental scholar, in the British Museum in 1930. Working together they analysed many significant Chinese calligraphic works and paintings and it was from this point onwards that Chiu fused Eastern and Western artistic ideas and philosophy, to produce works with Chinese sensibilities and Western technique. From 1930 Chiu travelled extensively through Europe, Africa and Asia, including his homeland Xiamen in China. During this trip Teng Hiok Chiu depicted the lakes and mountains of his native land, and important architecture and monuments including this significant work by Chiu of the Great Wall. It is probable that this is the work that was exhibited in his one-man show at The Fine Art Society in London from 18 November to 4 December 1936 as No. 37. In the preface to the catalogue Binyon wrote: “Mr. Chiu has travelled over many parts of the world, in the East and in the West, and has developed an eclectic style, in which it seems to me that through all the mastered technique of Western oil-painting the original Chinese element becomes more apparent than in the pictures shown six years ago […] Mr. Chiu, […] like so many Oriental painters who practice the Western style, found it a heavy and unpleasing means of expression: he has subdued it to a lightness of handling and felicities of colour natural to his gift.” (See T. H. Chiu, An Exhibition of Paintings by Teng H. Chiu, A.R.B.A. (London: Fine Art Society, 1936); ‘A Chinese Oil Painter’, The Times, 18 November 1936, p. 12.) This current work commemorates the shared experience of Binyon and Chiu in China, and can be considered a significant work in the development of Chiu’s oeuvre.

Est: £1,500 - £2,500
TENG-HIOK CHIU (CHOU TING-HSU CHINESE 1903-1972) Along the shoreline Signed (lower right) oil on board 35.5 x 45.5 cm (14 x 18 in) Born in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China in 1903, Teng-Hiok Chiu had an opportunity to study aboard in 1920 due to his prestigious family background. He became an active member in the art circles of Europe and the US, becoming the first foreign artist to be granted the membership of Royal Society of British Artists. ‘Since I used to play amidst the beautiful temples and pine trees or on the sandy beach, I have wanted to appreciate the best in nature and to be able to help everyone else to do so. As I go forward I realise increasingly that it is not a matter of East or West, someday there will be Art from a New World Civilisation, the creation of which, as a painter, I wish to contribute to. Art is a universal language that speaks to every human heart’. The dialogues between Asian and Western art have long been recognised, shared characteristics and techniques that Teng Hiok Chiu developed on, with an appreciation for economy, elegance, and a sense of infinite space. He skilfully contrasts between blank and activated areas of the scene. The present work Along the Shoreline painted solidly with broad bands of yellow, green and blues, the sky and faraway rocks all tinged with faint purple.
