Features: The late contemporary renowned Chinese painting figure artist Zhou Changgu, former professor of the Chinese Painting Department at the former Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts. In the early 1950s, his work "Two Lambs" won a gold medal for China in the international competition. Through his long-term teaching career, he trained many students for China. He was one of the pioneers in the innovation of Chinese figure painting. Blending traditional brush and ink techniques with the rich diversity of Western painting, he created a harmonious fusion of ink and color, ink-wash and color-wash, lines and composition, all while breaking free from the monochromatic essence of traditional Chinese painting. His works explore the spirit of the era and the pursuit of innovation, opening up a new path. This volume selects over 130 of his figure paintings, 60 floral works, and more than 10 calligraphy pieces, totaling over 220 works, providing a comprehensive introduction to the author's artistic achievements and holding significant research and collection value.
