"This book," begins the author's preface, "is for those who like Chinese art but think that art is made in Heaven, and for those who think otherwise but have no way of knowing what it is really like to be a painter in the modern Chinese realm." Illustrated with 119 black and white figures and color plates, this book examines the work of contemporary Chinese artist Li Huasheng (b. 1944) as a representative of the first generation of Chinese artists raised and trained in the People's Republic.
"Through extensive interviews with the 'uncompromising individualist' Li Huasheng, and other artists and officials of the time, interviews that produced extraordinarily candid and informative revelations, Jerome Silbergeld and his collaborator Gong Jisui have succeeded in putting together an account that not only obliges us to look at paintings produced in the People's Republic of China differently, but may also affect our understanding of older Chinese painting."—James Cahill
