Features: The character paintings in this series of books employ traditional brushwork and modeling techniques, emphasizing lines, realism, and expressive power. I believe readers will be deeply captivated by the authentic charm of traditional art after viewing these character works. The selected works in "The Series of Traditional Chinese Character Paintings" are precisely these traditional themes beloved by the public. In addition to the traditional themes, the painting techniques are also traditional. In the 1950s and 1960s, Chinese character painting absorbed Western sketching techniques, emphasizing the three-dimensional sense of form and weakening the dominant role of "bone method brushwork" in the works, as well as diluting the formal elements of ink color. By the 1980s and 1990s, it was influenced by Western modern art, where brushwork became a symbol for expressing certain philosophies, concepts, emotions, or feelings. Of course, the development of art toward diversification is natural and justifiable.
