Catalogue of Chen Beixin's solo exhibition at Hanart TZ Gallery in 2006. Chen Beixin began his studies in oil painting in the late 1940s under Xu Beihong, and became one of the first graduates of the Central Academy of Fine Art. In 1955 Chen was one of only 21 artists invited to take part in the legendary oil painting training course under the tutelage of K.M. Maximov (1913-1993). Chen's vibrant landscape paintings are often executed in bold, lively brushwork. Johnson Chang wrote, 'The viewer is invited to step forward and enjoy the rich textures and complex brush play; he is also pushed away by the intricacy of details that only reveal the structure and figures at a distance.' The present catalogue includes colour plates of Chen's works from 1985-2006, introduction by Johnson Chang, excerpts from various articles on Chen's works and artist biography.

諶北新於2006年在漢雅軒舉辦個展，本圖錄展示的正是該批作品。於1940年代末，諶北新拜於徐悲鴻門下學習油畫，成為中央美術學院首屆畢業生之一。1955年，21名藝術家獲選隨傳奇油畫大師馬克西莫夫 (1913至1993年) 習畫，諶北新便是其中之一。他的風景畫鮮明跳脫，筆觸揮灑自如、意趣盎然。張頌仁評曰：「[諶北新的]畫面潔淨而淋漓，沒有礙目的贅筆，讀畫人可以近賞細部變化，也能退觀全景的結構組織。」本書選載的彩色圖版均為諶北新創作於1985至2006年的作品，此外亦載有張頌仁撰寫的《形色之外的生趣》、藝評節選及藝術家簡歷。
