Diptych with 2 etchings // The Families 1 by Wang Huai-Qing is a 2012 limited edition diptych etching, created in an edition of 60. This artwork presents two panels featuring black silhouettes of various traditional Chinese objects, such as vases, teapots, and figurines, spread horizontally across a pale background. The objects are depicted as solid black shapes, with splatters and fragmented lines connecting them, suggesting a sense of movement or history. The diptych format amplifies the sense of continuity and separation, reflecting on the themes of heritage, family bonds, and the passage of time. Wang’s piece invites contemplation on cultural legacy, with everyday objects serving as symbols of memory and tradition.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
