Features: Chinese painting art has a long history and is closely tied to our civilization. Since Gu Kaizhi of 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 introducing 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 series of books. 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 the masters of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, totaling over 60 individuals, with each painter (or a group of 2-3) 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 book is published in a large 32-page hardcover format, printed on copperplate paper in color. It includes biographies, artistic careers, painting styles, discussions on art, critiques from various scholars, chronologies, and catalogs of masterpieces, along with numerous photographs of the painters' lives and work, as well as nearly 200 of their paintings. The book is rich in detailed information and illustrations, offering both high academic value and readability. It is an invaluable source for experts and scholars studying Chinese painters, and particularly for young people and art enthusiasts seeking to understand Chinese painting art. This book documents the artistic career of the master Xu Beihong and analyzes his painting characteristics.
