Description
CHU Teh-Chun (born 1920 in Baitou Zhen, China; died 2014 in Kremlin-Bicêtre) Untitled, 1979 Gouache on paper, signed lower right, countersigned and dated 29 March 1979 on reverse 64.8 x 50 cm We would like to thank the Fondation CHU Teh-Chun for confirming the listing of this work in its archives. A certificate of authenticity issued by the Foundation will be given to the buyer. Collection of the couple Tachia and Charles Rozoff, Paris Tachia Rozoff, born Tachia Quintanar in Spain in 1929, arrived in Paris in 1953 to escape Franco's regime. A poet and actress, in 1956 she had an intense love affair with Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014), appearing in several of the Colombian novelist's works. Bolstered by her humanist convictions and her living passion for poetry, Tachia, with the help of her husband Charles, a Russian-born engineer and adventurer, turned her house into a wonderful home for artistic expression, welcoming painters, writers and musicians from Spain and South America fleeing dictatorial regimes, as well as exiles from Eastern Europe, North Africa and even China. Their collection reflects their commitment, eclecticism and universality, and testifies to the essential role played by Paris in the post-war decades as a haven for international creativity.
