Features: Folk dwellings are a culture that remains unadorned, yet they are easily damaged. The folk dwelling culture of any nation will undergo radical changes as modern lifestyles penetrate, and anthropologists have been constantly warning us of this. Over the past 20 years, Yu Chunming has been engaged in painting folk dwellings, which is not only his personal endeavor but also preserves a precious record of our era's observation and understanding of folk dwelling culture. This book selects works from the author's over 3,000 paintings, covering various types of folk dwellings from the south to the north. To fully express his inner feelings for folk dwellings, the author has attempted to use a variety of painting techniques, resulting in a diverse collection of artworks in the book, including oil paintings, lacquer paintings, watercolors, and tempera paintings.
