Wu Guanzhong: Beauty Beyond Form cover

A giant among artists of his generation, Wu Guanzhong is celebrated for his distinctive synergy of Western oil painting and Chinese ink aesthetics, as well as his modernisation of Chinese ink painting. The impulse to highlight Wu's unique practice and his contributions to the discourse of modern Chinese painting drives the exhibition Beauty Beyond Form at National Gallery Singapore, which spans 50 years of his career. Including full-colour reproductions of works from the exhibition and a detailed bigraphical timeline, this catalogue also features essays that offer insight into Wu's beliefs in relation to the function of art.
