Collection of Xu Xingzhi's Paintings

This - dare we say - gorgeously produced book, presents a collection of 100 of Xu Xingzhi's artistic works (oil paintings, pastels, water colours & Chinese ink & colour). Xu Xingzhi (1904-1991) is a well-known artistic figure in China who used his talents in a number of ways, including film directing, stage and play writing, and prose. He was also a social activist, historian, and educator, but it is probably in fine art that Xu is most well-known. Also included is biographical information, a complete catalogue of Xu's works, etc.
