Features: The 21st century has brought humanity into a brand-new world, and the Chinese painting scene in the 21st century has also entered a vibrant and flourishing era. The innovation of Chinese painting is a historical 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 the ancient traditions, inherit the fine cultural heritage of the nation, and examine Eastern and Western cultures with modern perspectives. Standing at the vantage point of the era, they absorb and embrace all, widely gather and learn, break new ground and renew, representing the direction of mainstream art development. The fifty contemporary masters collected and promoted in this series are the brave pioneers of this outstanding artistic group carrying the historical mission. They each uphold 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. Contemporary Chinese Artists Archives 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.
