Features: Pictorial photography succeeds by relying on painting, while simultaneously liberating painting from its traditional way of depicting concrete subjects. This allows artists to find a completely new form of expression. This is both a form of repayment from pictorial photography to painting and the beginning of a new round of "guidance" from the latter to the former. This book discusses the development of pictorial photography in China and boldly introduces Chinese and Western photographic art that has integrated into the global art trend, presenting original and unique perspectives.
