Features: The 21st century has brought humanity into a brand-new world, and the Chinese painting scene in the 21st century has also entered an era of vibrant prosperity and development. The innovation of Chinese painting is a historical mission entrusted to contemporary artists by the times. Since the latter half of the 20th century, a group of dedicated painters have made valuable contributions to the transformation of Chinese painting from a classical form to a modern one. They look back to the ancient traditions, inherit the fine cultural heritage of the nation, and use the perspective of modern people to examine Eastern and Western cultures. Standing at the vantage point of the era, they absorb and embrace all, widely gather and learn, break new ground and renew, representing the direction of mainstream art development in the times. This series of books collects and promotes fifty outstanding masters of the era, who are brave and pioneering warriors in this excellent art group burdened with historical responsibilities. They raise the spirit of the times in different fields of Chinese painting—landscape, flowers and birds, and figures—while pushing their art to a new stage with greater modern significance. At the same time, they have also had a profound impact on the prosperity and development of Chinese painting and made great contributions. Contemporary Chinese Artists Archives is a comprehensive series of books, and "Chinese Painting" is just one part of it. In the future, we will continue to publish the works of painters in various fields such as oil painting, printmaking, and sculpture to reflect the breadth and diversity of contemporary Chinese artists.
