A conversation unearthing the legacy of a contemporary Chinese artist, at once a pioneer and an outsider
Self-taught artist Feng Guodong (1948-2005) took part in the first free exhibitions after the Cultural Revolution, was among the pioneers of Chinese abstraction and made sculptures out of tree roots and antiquities, mixing art and life. The book retraces this unsung artist's life and work across conversations including one with his son, curator Feng Xi.
