Catalogue Essay
“Many drawings show fellow-students at the Grande Chaumière seated on their stools with pencil and pad in hand intent on their work. It is amusing to imagine the studio scene where students sketch the nude model while Sanyu sketches them! To him, both were equally interesting and exotic.” Rita Wong, Sanyu: A Short Biography in ‘Sanyu l’écriture du corps’, Skira, 2004, p. 48
