Modern and Contemporary Chinese Ink Paintings from the Chu-tsing Li Collection 1950 - 2000.
MOWRY, ROBERT D. (EDITOR). Stock ID: 116658 Colour illustrations, 244pp, artist biographies, bibliography, paperback. Drawn from the Chu-tsing Li collection of modern and contemporary Chinese painting - the finest and most comprehensive of its kind in the West - this book is the first in-depth exploration of the development of Chinese ink painting during the last half century. These extraordinary paintings demonstrate the reinvigoration of classical techniques and materials by artists throughout mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and abroad working with distinctly contemporary perspectives. Illuminating essays situate these new works within the rich history of ink painting in China, revealing how contemporary artists evoke traditional and early modern Chinese art while reflecting their political and cultural environments and stunning reproductions of these paintings, many of which were previously unpublished, as well as biographies of the artists.

But Topolski sees it all and puts it all down with an artists insight, whether he is at a May Day celebration, or visiting a prison, or a textile factory, or an old people's home, where Mao's texts on the wall are accompanied by the old people's resolutions? The short and staccato text has the modest function of following and supporting the drawings." Publisher's description. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 91116) ... more |

ZHENG XIAOJUAN (EDITOR). Stock ID: 126398 Colour and black and white photographic illustrations, 71pp, paper wrappers little foxed, quarto, good copy. In Chinese and English. "Zhang Yu is an important artist of contemporary Chinese water-ink painting. The album, with over 50 pieces of Zhang Yu's best arts, reflect directly the artists' pursuit in the past ten years. He breaks through the single, narrow limit of traditional relationship between time and space in painting and gives the works profound images of time and space by creating a modern, Chinese, Zhang Yu's personal symbols of sights, and thus forms his unique artistic style. This, we should say, is a successful example of the combination of Modern Western art and water-ink art." Publisher's description. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 126398) ... more |
