The Families 2 by Wang Huai-Qing is a 2012 limited edition etching, produced in an edition of 60. This artwork presents a minimalist yet powerful composition with scattered black silhouettes of traditional Chinese objects, including vases, teapots, and other household items, against a pale background. The placement of the objects is sparse, creating an impression of items floating or suspended in space. The bold black forms contrast with the white background, drawing attention to the outline and essence of each object. Wang’s work often explores cultural heritage and memory, and The Families 2 invites reflection on family ties and the legacies of domestic objects, preserving memories of past lives and traditions.

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.
