Features: The 21st century has brought humanity into a brand-new world, and the Chinese art scene in the 21st century has also entered an era of vibrant prosperity and development. The innovation of Chinese painting is a historic mission bestowed upon contemporary artists by the times. Since the latter half of the 20th century, a group of dedicated painters have made valuable contributions to the transformation of Chinese painting from classical to modern forms. They look back to ancient traditions, inheriting the fine cultural heritage of the nation, while also examining Eastern and Western cultures through the lens of modern perspectives. Standing at the vantage point of the era, they absorb and embrace all, broadly collecting and innovating, representing the direction of mainstream art development. The fifty contemporary masters collected and promoted in this series are brave pioneers in this outstanding artistic group that carries the historic mission. They have upheld the spirit of the times in different fields of Chinese painting—landscape, flowers and birds, and figures—while advancing their art to a new stage with greater modern significance. At the same time, they have also made profound impacts and significant contributions to the prosperity and development of Chinese painting. The Archives of Contemporary Chinese Artists is a comprehensive series, and "Chinese Painting" is just one part of it. In the future, we will continue to publish works by painters in various fields such as oil painting, printmaking, and sculpture to reflect the breadth and diversity of contemporary Chinese art.
