Add to basketWhile 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.
Dr Joshua Gong is a leading expert on contemporary Chinese art and chinoiserie. He taught at the University of Sussex from 2010 to 2018, then lectured at Shanghai Normal University. He was a recipient of the Young Scholar Grant, Tate Modern, 2015. His first monograph was nominated for the best art publication by the Award of Art China.
He has been working and publishing with and for various leading publishers and institutions, including in China: the Ministry of Culture, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Yinchuan, the Palace Museum, The Commercial Press, and the Chinese National Art Publishing House; and in the UK: Unicorn Publishing Group, the Art Newspaper and Oxford University Press. His book Iconography and Schemata: A Communicating History in Painting between China and the West, 1514-1885 is a landmark in the field. Recently he published two monographs Hsiao Chin and Punto: Mapping Post-War Avant-Garde (London: Unicorn) and Challenging Leonardo da Vinci, An Alternative Art History (Beijing: CITIC Press Group).
