Don Hong Oai (1929-2004) Chinese/American, Photograph. Title: "After Prayer." Signed and dated in ink bottom right. Framing information on back. Depicts a robed man with umbrella walking along in front of the branches of a dead tree. Depth: 1 1/4 in. Overall size: 11 1/2 X 14 1/2 in. Sight size: 6 3/4 X 9 1/4 in. #1560 . Don Hong Oai was born in Canton, China in 1929, and was raised and educated in Saigon, Vietnam. At age thirteen he began an apprenticeship at a photo and portrait shop. His photographs were made in a unique style called Asian pictorialism, which originated from Hong Kong in 1940 and was practiced by the great master Long Chin-San, with whom Don studied. Incorporating the traditional motifs of Chinese painting (birds, boats, mountains, etc.), photographers of this school used more than one negative to create a picture, layering them on top of each other with different objects from each negative given a specific focus, striving more to form visual allegories rather than realistic imagery. In 1979 he fled Vietnam by boat, winding up in San Francisco’s Chinatown. At the turn of the millennium his work found a broader audience, and he worked tirelessly in his small darkroom, without an assistant, until his death in 2004. Location Box 2
