Author Description

This 180-page monograph on the painter Ji Dachun covers the artist's early Twombly-inspired works through to his more recent cartoon-based satires. His use of pencil and ink lines and white space resonates with traditional Chinese portrait painting. The satirical content of the works, however, is as contemporary as it is compelling. The book contains an interview with the artist by Li Xianting, and several essays by other critics of Asian art.
