Features: This book is the most comprehensive, specialized, and well-balanced monograph on Shi Tao to date, marking a significant work in the field. As one of the most prominent artists in the history of Chinese painting, Shi Tao made greater contributions to painting theory. Over the centuries, many theorists and art critics have attempted to interpret Shi Tao's painting theory, but there has been no consensus. This book conducts a thorough study of Shi Tao's life, friendships, theories, the authenticity of his works, and more, and is expected to have a major impact on Shi Tao research both in China and abroad. It is a systematic work on Shi Tao, offering detailed analyses of core concepts in his painting theory, the transmission of versions of The Painters' Words, the authenticity of his surviving works, his relationship with Zen Buddhism and Taoism, and the realities of his social interactions, proposing new insights worthy of academic attention.
