Features: The "Contemporary Chinese Artists Archive" series of books is a major co-publishing project between our company, the China Artists Association, and Huayi Publishing House, as part of our publishing plan. The series selects one hundred renowned painters and is planned to be completed over two years. Each book in the "Contemporary Chinese Artists Archive" series is independent, with a unique ISBN, and consists of the artist's works and biographical introductions. The color sections use imported copperplate paper, while the text sections are printed on lightweight art paper. The books are printed using brand-new Heidelberg presses from Germany, and the covers are made of 250g imported copperplate paper, printed in four colors with black and white, UV coating, and lamination. The "Contemporary Chinese Artists Archive" series is upscale and elegant. So far, the first 20 volumes have been released, with each volume selling over 10,000 copies, creating a miracle in the sales of art books. As the series continues to be released, sales will continue to rise steadily. (Editor: LX)
The 21st century has brought humanity into a brand-new world, and the Chinese art scene has also entered an era of vibrant prosperity. The innovation of Chinese painting is a historical mission bestowed upon 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 to a modern form. They look back to the ancient traditions of Chinese culture while examining Eastern and Western cultures through the lens of modern perspectives. Standing at the vantage point of the era, they absorb and embrace all, widely gather and learn, and innovate while preserving the old. They represent the direction of mainstream art development in the era. The fifty outstanding artists collected and promoted in this series are the brave pioneers of this excellent artistic group that carries the historical mission. They each embody 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 significant contributions.
The "Contemporary Chinese Artists Archive" is a comprehensive series, and the "Chinese Painting Section" is only one part of it. In the future, we will continue to publish works by painters in various fields such as oil painting, printmaking, and sculpture to reflect the breadth and diversity of contemporary Chinese art.
