This trilingual catalogue raisonné presents Sanyu’s complete drawings and watercolors—works that reveal the foundation of his pictorial language: line, proportion, and the quiet precision of touch. Across these works on paper, gesture and restraint remain central, offering insight into how Sanyu’s imagery evolved through repetition and refinement.

The design supports both sustained viewing and reference. Image sequencing is paced to allow close looking, while captions and documentation remain consistent throughout. The result is a publication shaped for long-term study and preservation of a major body of twentieth-century work on paper.
