Shanghai Modern 1919-1945 (English and German Edition) Details
In the 1920s and 30s, Shanghai was established as one of the world's major cities. A vital, prospering metropolis with a population of over one million, and the commercial and cultural center of China, it was one place where it was certain that Western influences would have a forceful impact. Consequently, artists from different disciplines took part in the lively debates on the issue of what direction Chinese art and culture should take and Shanghai Modern documents this vigorous cultural exchange between the country and Europe, especially Germany. Through essays by authors of international renown, this book sheds new light on the early years of China's Western gaze, while it presents a magnificent collection of works by early exponents of Chinese modernism, many of which have never been shown before.

Reviews
Eye Opening View of Pre-Mao Chinese Literati. A really gorgeous, well written and impressively illustrated tome on the pre-Communist Chinese Arts scene with mentions and references to utterly incredible artists, photographers, etc., who were on the way to creating a new 20th Century Western influenced and educated China.
