It is a gem in the history of art. The purpose of this exhibition is to introduce Chinese culture and art to the Western audience and to help them understand the essence and characteristics of Chinese art. It is, in this sense, an exhibition of today's Chinese painting.". First Edition. Softcover. Near Fine condition.
