Features: This book is a lecture manuscript by Feng Zikai when he taught at the Shanghai Jiangwan Lida Academy in 1928. He lectured to the second-year students, primarily translating and summarizing the twelve lectures on "Modern Art" by Mr. Ueda Toshitada of Japan. Feng Zikai's translated lectures were published by Shanghai Kaiping Bookstore in 1929, which is this book. Mr. Ueda Toshitada, the author, was a literature professor at Kyoto Imperial University in Japan and an expert in literature. Therefore, the entire book is almost centered on literature. The content includes not only painting and music but also literature and fiction. It also touches on sculpture, religion, philosophy, and even science. After this revision, the book is republished, as if it has been infused with a bit of fresh blood, making it once again a thought-provoking and reference-worthy read for readers.
