Description
Summary:Tracing the Past, Drawing the Future examines a crucial turning point in the development of Chinese ink painting in the twentieth century, a change represented by the beautiful and innovative work of four artists, Wu Changshuo (1844?1927), Qi Baishi (1863?1957), Huang Binhong (1864?1955), and Pan Tianshou (1897?1971).

As a group, their work represents an alternative approach to questions of relevance and modernity.
