Complete Works of Fu Baoshi
(6 volumes)
By Fu Baoshi
Being a master with unlimited creativity and strong personality in traditional Chinese painting, Mr. Fu Baoshi had made a notable contribution to the research of art history. Both on the base of traditional water-and-ink techniques and in the theory of “learning from the nature” in Chinese painting, he absorbed other techniques, such as Japanese painting, to work for reforming the traditional water-and-ink painting and to create his own Baoshi Cun, which has enhanced greatly the expressive force of Chinese arts. Changing previous techniques of combining outline and Cun strokes in describing landscape, his Baoshi Cun was a great creation in Chinese water-and-ink painting art. The whole book shows accurate and detailed contents, which not only sums up his art career but also displays high academic and artistic values to his works.
