A collection of paintings by eighty acclaimed American-Chinese artists in the late 20th century, the book is the first of its kind in English publication. The album falls into three categories (oil painting, Chinese painting and other media painting) and offers a profile of the artists and information on their professional accomplishment. Artists included come from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, among whom are such highly acknowledged names as Chen Yifei, Ting Shao Kuang, Jin Gao, Liao Shiou-Ping and Chen Danqing whose works have enjoyed international fame and recognition. Artists whose works are included in the album come from different backgrounds, use different media and belong to different schools. Some of them are veterans of the fascinating world of artistic creation who enjoy national and international fame while others are enterprising young men and women who are more impressionable to novelty and singularity. With their innate Chinese temperament, their life's experience, original thinking, and unique expression, each of them paints 'man' in a style that is clearly his or her own. All of their paintings combined reflect a facet of the splendid Chinese culture of five thou-sand years. Answering calls from the hearts' yearning, these paintings reveal a natural beauty of flow, just like days passing by. They move in such a way that resembles the impulsive unfolding of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Tide rises and falls, but each movement has a different rhythm each day. So do the paintings of our artists, each of which bears the artist's unmistakable imprint and all of which deserve our awesome appreciation.
