Modern Chinese Ink Paintings

By Clarissa von Spee

The author explores the innovative contributions of individual masters whose artistic work has helped shape the image of modern China; the importance of regional artistic centres; and how the works reflect the times in which they were created (including important events and political climate). With reference to artistic exchanges between Picasso and Zhang Daqian; the relationship between modern Chinese painting and the modern Western art scene is also highlighted in this informative and elegant introduction to the modern world of Chinese ink painting.
