ZAO WOU-KI (1920-2013) et François CHENG (né en 1929)
Rompre le cri. Paris : Éditions Ecarts, 1994.

Exemplaire de tête, avec la suite des deux gravures signées.
Poète et calligraphe, François Cheng arrive à Paris en 1948, en même temps que Zao Wou-Ki. Leurs parcours présentent de grandes similitudes et les deux artistes entretiennent une longue amitié. Seul livre qu'ils réalisent en collaboration, il s'agit sans doute du "plus chinois des livres illustrés par Zao Wou-Ki" (Y. Hendgen), notamment par la mise en page avec le choix de contrecoller les poèmes et les gravures, mais aussi par l'illustration inspirée des encres de Chine.
Agerup, 373-374 ; Zao Wou-Ki et les poètes, pp. 204-205 ; Chicha et Minssieux-Chamonard, p. 141.
