The first biographical dictionary of its kind in any Western
language, this pioneering work provides short, information-packed
entries for approximately 1,800 Chinese artists of the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. In recent years interest in modern Chinese
art has spread across the globe. Public and private collections are
being formed; courses in modern Chinese art are offered in many
universities and museums. At the same time, the number of practicing
artists in China and the amount of published material have greatly
increased. Michael Sullivan's pathbreaking book _Art and Artists of
Twentieth-Century China,_ published in 1996, included a biographical
index of some eight hundred artists. This volume includes more than
twice that number, with entries that have been revised, expanded, and
brought up to date. Illustrated with portraits and photographs of
over seventy leading artists, this comprehensive, convenient
reference will be an essential tool for anyone interested in the
study or collection of modern Chinese art.
