Features: The New Generation Art is a striking and highly influential art phenomenon in China's contemporary art scene in the 1990s. This book systematically organizes and explores this art phenomenon. The book is divided into two parts: The first part provides a macro and systematic analysis and elaboration from a theoretical perspective on the cultural background, artistic tendencies, creative methods, and characteristics of New Generation Art. The second part, based on the academic stance of New Generation Art, offers concise critiques of more than ten representative painters and their works, outlining their unique individualities. Through logical reasoning and close analysis of individual cases, the author articulates his candid views on the value orientation and specific creative practices of New Generation Art, and raises some academic questions related to contemporary social trends and cultural construction.
