This book represents the fourth revised edition in the series A History of Chinese Art in the 20th Century . Based on the author’s long-standing scholarly research on Chinese art history since the 19th century, with a particular focus on the 20th century, this revised edition substantially updates and expands the existing framework, forming a comprehensive academic work that traces the development of Chinese art from the late Qing dynasty to the early 21st century.
To promote the broader dissemination of academic research and encourage scholarly exchange, the author has chosen to release this revised Chinese edition as an open-access e-book on his personal website, where it is freely available for online reading and download. It is hoped that this open-access publication will extend the reach of this research and stimulate further discussion and academic dialogue on the history of modern and contemporary Chinese art.
