She was born in Peking, China. As the daughter of an admiral,[who?] she had a privileged upbringing. Tseng started painting when she was 11, when she was bedridden for 3 months with pleurisy.[1] When she recovered, she began studying paintingwith the chief Manchu House representative Prince Pu Jin.[2] She graduated from Fu-jen University in 1942, and then pursued graduate studies in Chinese art history and Chinese literature at Fu-jen University and Peking University. She married art historian Gustav Ecke in 1945. Tseng started receiving international recognition in 1946, when Michael Sullivan began praising and writing about her work.[3]
As an artist, Tseng Yu-ho is best known for her collages created by tearing and layering colored handmade papers. She called these artworks "Dsui Hua" paintings. Seagulls from 1965, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, is an example of this collage technique.[8]
Style and worksedit
Tseng Yu-ho works vary across different mediums including traditional Chinese mount-making, calligraphy, and paintings.[7] She started developing her "Dsui Hua" paintings in the early 1950s which would later become her signature style.[9] Her work would later become more abstract but would still keep a connection to the classical Chinese canon.[9]
