Art Revolution in Modern China-The Lingnan
School of painting 1906-1951 |
|
By Prof.
Ralph Croizier
This is a
book about art, but not just about art. The subject is an art
movement with specific regional origins that achieved national
significance in the context of the political and cultural
revolutions of early twentieth-century China. It is about a group of
painters who attempted to produce a new national art that would be
modern and still distinctively Chinese. It is about the interplay
between art and politics in a period of cultural crisis and social
change.More

ignoring those art forms most highly prized by the Chinese
