Sketching Hong Kong—The Drawings of Eddie Chau

Illustrated

With an Afterword by Christopher Mattison
Views of China through the paint strokes of Eddie Chau. 

Sketching Hong Kong—The Drawings of Eddie Chau is a panoramic record of Hong Kong by the Indonesian-Chinese painter Eddie Chau. A testament to geographical history, each painting is a passage in Hong Kong’s story, each stroke a moment in time. This book serves as a retrospective of Chau’s art through his early years in Bandung, his coming-of-age in Guangdong, and his final decades in Hong Kong.
