Features: The Shanghai art scene in recent decades has undergone dramatic changes, from the turbulent "White Terror" era to today's prosperous century of cultural renaissance. During this period, the ups and downs of life, the joys and sorrows of emotions, the renewal of consciousness, and the transformation of artistic styles among the painters have been more profound and extensive than ever before. Mr. Xu Changming was at the heart of this artistic community during this time, serving as the Secretary-General of the Artists' Association and leading its work. Not only was he praised as the "Olympic Czar" of the Shanghai art scene for his outstanding performance, but he also used humorous and vivid language to narrate the inner journeys and daily lives of the painters during this period, compiling them into this book titled "A Spectrum of Colors." Through this, we get closer to the renowned and internationally celebrated masters of painting and learn many little-known anecdotes from the art world.
