Features: Chinese painting art has a long history and is closely linked to our civilization. Since Gu Kaizhi in the Jin Dynasty, over a thousand years have passed, with numerous schools and renowned artists emerging. Unfortunately, we still lack a systematic and comprehensive work that introduces the history of painting and painters. To fill this gap and allow readers to gain a more detailed understanding of Chinese painting civilization and painters, we have compiled this large-scale series. The series is divided into two parts: Ancient and Modern. The ancient section includes painters from Gu Kaizhi and Wu Daozi to Wang Wei, followed by masters from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, totaling over 60 individuals, with each (or a few) having their own volume. The modern section includes Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Pan Tianshou, Zhou Sichong, and others, totaling over 30 individuals, each with their own volume, edited by Lang Shaojun and Zhang Zhixin. This series is published in large 32-page hardcover, with color printing on copper paper, including biographies, artistic careers, painting styles, art discussions, critiques from various scholars, chronologies, and catalogs of masterpieces. It also features numerous photographs of the painters' lives and work, as well as nearly 200 of their paintings. The series is rich in detailed information, well-illustrated, and both academic rigor and readability, making it an invaluable resource for experts and scholars studying Chinese painters. (Particularly, the volumes on Li Liufang, Cheng Mengyang, Mei Qing, Chen Bading, and Tao Lengyue are works that fill gaps in art history.) It is also an excellent choice for young people and art enthusiasts to understand Chinese painting art. This book presents the life and achievements of the master Pan Tianshou.
