Features: This is a large-scale art album that systematically showcases 20th-century Chinese sketch art. The editorial philosophy of this volume is that selected works serve as a form of historical description, thus the chosen pieces strive to exhibit the evolution of sketches throughout the century. The works presented include sketches that were once highly sought after as well as many previously unseen sketches by outstanding artists, with early sketches in particular being exceptionally valuable. As a result, its documentary and archival value are unprecedented. The preface essay provides a comprehensive description and evaluation of 20th-century Chinese sketch art from sociological and artistic typological perspectives. The Complete Collection of Modern Chinese Art: Sketches is a single volume, organized chronologically by the creation date of the works, featuring 222 pieces by 136 artists. The creation period of the collected works extends to the end of 1999.
