'In the early 1980s, Zhang Xiaogang had embarked on his eventful art career, the all-encompassing journey of an acutely sensitive Piscean through painting, reading, and writing which at different times drew on the convoluted and darkest anxieties and intellectual dilemmas — factors which determined that Zhang Xiaogang's personal artistic journey also has significance as a symbolic landscape of the history of his times; the artistic practice and thought of Zhang Xiaogang encompass the many significant changes China's art history has undergone since 1978.
This book is limited to research on Zhang Xiaogang's artistic career prior to 1996, the year in which the artist perfected the style we see in the "Big Family" works.' - excerpted from the Foreword
