The authors have collaborated to produce a valuable resource guide that lists the most significant Chinese artists to emerge during the period of time from the 1890 to 1949. It examines these Chinese artists both in relation to the historical period in which they worked as well as in relation to the specific genre they were working in. At the end of the book, there is a listing of the most important Chinese modern painters, along with a concise biography of each, followed by a discussion of the various centers of Chinese modern painting. The bibliography has been broken down into works in English and works in Chinese.

Review
"... every artist in this volume is given a biographical sketch and there are a number of reproductions of paintings to illustrate the varying styles from abstract, impressionism, realism to traditional Chinese ink and watercolor painting, along with woodcut and commercial art. This book could not have come into being without Dr. Bao's many return trips to China, his extended stays and exhaustive research. We hope our efforts will increase interest in China and Chinese art and stimulate a deeper interest in evaluating works of art, and learning from them more about the artist and his particular society." - (from the Preface) Dr. Letitia Lane, retired Professor of English and Art"

This review is from: Art And Artists of Chinese Modern Painting: 1830-1949 (Hardcover)
Mu Lin is a professor of Chinese art and related subjects at China's Sichuan Normal University. the other two authors are associated with American universities. In these years when it was coming into contact with modernism, Chinese art ranged from paintings of flowers and other parts of nature in the traditional style of delicate colors and composition and artful brushwork, Buddhist subjects and themes, socialistic scenes of suffering and turmoil, to Cubist-like and other modernist styles. One sees that this was both a fertile and a formative period in Chinese art. Though it did not manifestly survive the Maoist years of enforced uniformity and cultural purges, this period is seen as a precursor and source for references and directions for Chinese art as it again takes a place among world art with China's growing economic strength, cultural influences (in cinema as well as art), and expanded, though yet tentative, freedoms. This is a work for a specialized interest in Chinese art, with its informative, but brief mention of numerous Chinese artists of the period and its 6-page bibliography containing many references which would not be found elsewhere. It's best looked at as a mapping out of the 60-year period rather than a full history or a critique of its art.
