This volume explores the interactions of the two traditions, Chinese and Western, as Chinese painters and sculptors have attempted to address the social and cultural effects of modernism. "China's visual arts in the twentieth century have responded with great vitality to the momentous changes brought by the modern experience. Many Chinese artists have investigated foreign styles, genres, and schools of sculpture and painting with the aim of revitalizing the nation's visual culture, but ink painting has not been eclipsed and the inherited language of the Chinese brush has been extended in exciting new ways."
