Catalogue of Zhang Nian's solo exhibition at ddm warehouse, Shanghai, featuring paintings of historical events produced in 2006. As noted by Wang Lin, Zhang's series of historical paintings 'seem to be bursting out of a forgotten volcano, with a sudden explosion of radiance and energy, reaching to the audience with rapid motions and grandeur. Zhang Nian is unwilling to appreciate history with a sad romanticism, rather he wants to appropriate historical images to awaken the Chinese people's historical consciousness.'
With artist biography, artist statement and essays by art critics Wang Lin, Wang Min'an, and Yang Wei. An interview with the artist by Zou Yuejing is also included.
