David Kwok demonstrating his painting method in England.
Da Wei Kwo. My mother had an original painting of a sad Pekingese in 1958. I showed it to Betty White because she had a Peke. I saw his brass sign on 57th Street and went in and did a drawing of it and told Mr. Kwo he should make a print of it. He was so touched by my interest and enthusiasm. When I went to England in 1964, I saw a row of them in a department store in Banstead, UK but I was taking the Grand Tour of Europe and didn't want to carry one. My mother's painting was stolen. But I
bought a great print of it on Ebay 56 years later!

This is the British print that I had convinced Da Wei Kwo to sell based on a painting he had sold to my mother. I was in England in 1964 and saw it then and because I was just starting my first tour of Europe I did not buy it. Now I am bidding for it. Isn't it adorable? It took me only a life time of 56 years to find it! Date: April 1964 Location: Sutton, England. It is amazing that I even found it in England the first time I went to a department store! I was 20 years old but I suggested it when I was 15.

Da Wei Kwo also known as David Kwok was an exceptionally talented artist. I met him when I was fifteen year old at his studio on 57th Street. I just recounted our memorable meeting on Facebook today.
It was when I had showed Betty White an original Da Wei Kwo painting of a Pekingese.
"Betty had 3 dogs and in addition to Brandy the Saint Bernard, an a Poodle, Betty had a cute little Peke. My mother bought an original painting of an adorable and very sad looking Peke from an artist named David Kwok whose Chinese name was Da-Wei Kwo (Google his name) At that time in 1959, I wanted to show Betty the painting, and I was in the high school "camera club" so the photo is terrible. She was coming into New York to do a live soap opera, so she called me to meet her in NY and she was delighted to see the Peke painting by Da-Wei Kwo. But some time after, I was walking along 57th Street and spotted a small brass sign that said DAVID KWOK.
I walked into his tiny office and said he had to make reprints of his Peke and I drew it for him and he was OVER THE MOON! 5 years later, I was in England in the town of Sutton going up an escalator in a department store and when I got to the second floor the wall was lined with Da-Wei Kwo Peke prints in a bunch of frames. I wanted to buy one but I had 6 more countries to see! Here is the photo of me showing the print to Betty White. She was 5'4" and weighed 110 lbs. She was very kind to me, and that helped me cope with being unpopular. To be successful, you have to go through it alone. Life is a PYRAMID. The special people are at the top of the pyramid trying to bring you up! And the losers are on the bottom, trying to keep you down. Betty is a Pyramid person. To have known her was a blessing that affected my whole life."
Da Wei Kwo's books are in my art library. His daughter is a plastic surgeon. I will fill in more details. And I have given him and his art a fitting tribute.
