Publisher's description: "One of the preeminent figures in 20th-century Chinese art Fu Baoshi 1904-1965 revolutionized the tradition of Chinese ink painting opening the door to innovations by subsequent generations. As both an art historian and a painter he directed his work toward protecting cultural heritage in times of war and revolution. From traditional-style landscape and figure painting to political artwork manifesting state ideology during the Mao era Fu's work demonstrates his search for a unique artistic language that speaks for the self and the nation. Using native tradition as an essential element Fu's artistic modernity defined Chinese art as a discipline distinct from Western and international socialist art of the time. Chinese Art in an Age of Revolution is the first comprehensive retrospective of Fu's work to be published in the West. The book includes more than 100 artworks that demonstrate his stylistic transformation across several decades. Insightful essays offer the latest scholarship on Fu's life and art Japan's impact on modern Chinese art and art and politics in China's turbulent 20th century." -- with a bonus offer-- .
