Introduction

The beautiful, ancient art of Chinese painting is one that features the predominant use of lines to delineate objects. During thousands of years of its development, artists have fully and ingeniously tapped the versatile expressive powers of the brushwork, ink, colors, water and paper, making Chinese painting a highly-developed art form that never ceases to evolve. The 400 paintings by more than 240 artists featured in this book are representative works from different historical periods. Details are reproduced to highlight the unique ways in which Chinese people view the people, natural scenery and flora and fauna and turn art into a vehicle for their outlook of the world and aspirations.
