While contemporary Chinese art is playing a significant role in the global evolution of art, recent developments of art in China have not yet been properly interpreted for a wider audience.
In Chinese Art Today the renowned Chinese art critic and historian Dr. Joshua Gong provides this interpretation by exploring the context of contemporary Chinese art and its effects on society, the individual and more general art forms. The intriguing issue of juxtaposing global and national art identities is explored throughout the book, using as examples the eight most representative artists: Lin Fengmian, Wu Dayu, Sanyu, Zao Wou-Ki, Wu Guanzhong, Su Tianci, Zhang Enli and Chen Yujun.
