Features: Hardcover, large 8th format, 280 pages, full-color copperplate printing, with short biographies for each author. This book nearly collects the representative works of famous Chinese ink painters. This art album cannot be generalized. It only showcases one aspect of the major transformation of Chinese ink painting in the 20th century, mainly the works from the past two decades since the reform and opening-up. However, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and it holds certain representativeness, reflecting the compiler's meticulous effort. Readers can also see the hardships of the authors' artistic journey. Many of them have passed away, while the young ones are growing. The tide of the younger generation pushes the older generation forward, with new talents replacing the old. The development of Chinese ink painting still follows this old saying: to firmly adhere to the path of nationalization. In the 21st century, it will move from studios to a broader environment, expanding its scope. Wherever human presence extends, it will follow. Beautifying the world, the universe, and the human spirit. Entering thousands of households, enhancing people's lives, and becoming a true art.
