Features: We find ourselves surrounded by art yet unable to grasp its essence or significance. Therefore, broadening our perspective and changing our viewpoint allows us to rediscover the relationship between art and humanity. The idea for the "Fourth Dimension of Art" series originated from this realization. It attempts to explore the diverse and complex cultural phenomena in the history of art, both Chinese and foreign, through a new dimension. In this open-ended structure, various formats coexist harmoniously—whether intuitive and spontaneous reflections or rational and analytical critiques—all finding their rightful place. It resembles a multifaceted prism, refracting different hues from different angles and revealing layers of beauty that remain unknown or overlooked. The five small books in this series can be seen merely as an introduction, with the hope that more innovative topics on art will be included in the "Fourth Dimension" perspective, allowing readers to appreciate even more of the charm of art and culture.
