The play of light on the textured forms highlights the unique rhythm and harmony of Eastern (Chinese) human bodies, characterized by their smooth, compact curves and subtle yet dynamic textures. Though lacking the pronounced structural contrasts found in Western figures, they evoke a passionate Eastern charm. The female form, with its graceful, supple, and serene beauty, resembles tender ivy entwined in the wisdom of artists, intoxicating their emotions and unlocking the gates of inspiration, leading them to create lifelike, emotionally resonant works.
From ancient times to the Renaissance and beyond, spanning at least 500 years, the human body model has served as a source of creative inspiration for global masters like Picasso, Botero, and Kupka, embodying their pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. The human form has become the soul of countless artistic works. While human body models are common in the West, in China, they are still in their infancy. Should Chinese models display the charm of their "nude" forms? In a letter to six Central Committee Politburo members, Chairman Mao once sharply pointed out: "Nude models are essential for painting and sculpture—without them, it’s impossible. To oppose them due to feudal conservatism is misguided."
It is precisely this unhealthy, irrational "feudal conservatism" that has suppressed and destroyed the beauty and artistry of the human form. Why are the human forms of Chinese models often met with resistance and opposition? The reason lies in the fact that healthy human beauty and art often conceal unhealthy, abnormal elements. This book, using the medium of photography, presents each tall, elegant, and lively Chinese model—stepping on the catwalk in rhythm, bringing life and vitality to the runway.
