I wish I hadn't missed his retrospective at The Museum of Chinese in America. Perhaps they and the other institutions that hold Lee's work will mount it again online.
Lee was born in Shanghai in the 1930s. His mother, Tang Ing, was a famous beauty and accomplished actress. His father, Lee Teu Fa, was a Yale-educated businessman. With his mother's encouragement, Lee studied landscape painting with a master Chinese landscape painter before coming to the United States. It is commonly understood that the skills and techniques he gained as an apprentice in China served as the basis for his iconic approach to the US stage. |
