Features: This collection of essays gathers the author's research and reflections on Western modern art during her 14 years in the United States. It includes in-depth studies of Duchamp, analyses and introductions to postmodernist art, tracking and critiques of contemporary art movements and rising artists in the history of art, as well as observations and insights into domestic artists and art phenomena. Although the topics are diverse, the author ties all these aspects around a central line of thought: How can we achieve spiritual freedom through art and ultimately transform life into art.
