Features: Mr. Huang Yonghou's works are imbued with a strong humanistic spirit and a profound sense of ultimate concern. He uses mythological figures, legendary stories, poetry, ci qu, and novel tales—elements that other painters often take for granted—from traditional Chinese culture, and subjects them to serious and thoughtful reflection under the lens of modern concepts and awareness. His solid and profound modern painting expertise has allowed him to creatively develop the techniques of Chinese ink painting. Confronting life, facing reality, questioning the soul, and upholding the spirit of freedom have made his works shine brightly. This book includes dozens of cartoon works such as "Shantao," "The Realm of Human Feelings of Wu Da," "The Steward of the Grand Tutor," "The Master of Human Feelings," and "Three Iraqis."
