About

Daniel Tretiak has studied Maki's life and works for many years, after beginning to collect the artist's prints in the 1960's. His collection includes physical prints as well as a vast library of computer-stored images of Maki's prints. He has lived in Beijing for much of the past two decades where he continues to study Chinese politics and aspects of Chinese art and language. He has a substantial collection of Chinese antique wooden objects: ranging from toggles to scholar's art. He has visited Japan frequently over four decades and many times in connection with his study of Maki.
