The Art of Contemporary Chinese Woodcuts - Softcover
This volume showcases woodcuts of astonishingly high quality by 60 Chinese artists. The woodcuts were all produced specifically for the portfolio presented in this volume. The oversized volume (9.25x13<">) features full-page color plates faced with an entry that describes the artist's life, career, influences, awards, style, subject matter, and typical working method. Four lengthy essays, by art historians in the US, the UK, and China, discuss the history of Chinese prints before 1900, during the Revolution, during the People's Republic, and from 1985. There is a lengthy (38-page) glossary of Chinese woodcut terms, a list of Chinese institutions' names and terms, and a bibliography. Not indexed. Distributed by Art Media Resources.
