1945réf. 002119NY: The John Day Co. 1945. The Chinese art of woodcut printing originated in the Tang Dynasty and reached a pinnacle in the Ming with the invention of multi-colour woodcut printing but it gradually fell into decline by the end of the 19th century. In the 1930's intellectuals such as Lu Xun were exposed to the dramatic woodcuts of the German Expressionist movement and realized that this style was an effective tool to communicate the lives and social ills of the common Chinese citizen during the difficult years of struggle against Japanese imperialism. Thus the 'new' Chinese woodcut style was born. The present volume presents 82 such examples by some forty Chinese artists. Portraying a people living through difficult times yet maintaining their native spirit endurance and humour these prints are a remarkable record of the period. With foreword and commentary on each work by Pearl S. Buck. DJ worn chipped and soiled but complete and now protected in Mylar. Endpapers a little tanned; binding solid and internal pages bright and unmarked – overall very good. 95 pp. 82 b&w woodcuts. First Edition. Hardbound. Very good. 27 x 19 cm.
