Features: We are surrounded by the weight of art and culture, yet we often fail to grasp its essence and reasons. Therefore, pulling back the video and shifting the perspective allows people to rediscover the relationship between art and humanity. The concept of the "Four-Dimensional View of Art" series was born from this idea. It attempts to explore the diverse and complex cultural phenomena in the history of art, both within and beyond China, through new dimensions. In this open and flexible structure, various formats coexist harmoniously—whether intuitive and spontaneous remarks or rational and analytical discussions—all finding their rightful place. It is like a prism, refracting different glints of light from different angles, revealing layers of beauty that people may have overlooked or never considered. The first five books in the series can be seen as merely an introduction, with the hope that more innovative topics on art will be included in the fourth-dimensional perspective, allowing readers to appreciate more of the charm of art and culture.
