Great Ladies of Chinese Painting

In classical China art has been expressed through ink, paper and brush, and poetry, calligraphy and painting formed an inseparable union called the "three perfections". In this book, the author takes a journey through the different Imperial dynasties by introducing the most important Chinese women painters whose works have been selected for their richness and variety to be analysed and contemplated.

The lives of these artists were intimately linked to their social origins and to traditions such as Confucianism, which greatly limited their scope of action. In the solitude of their homes or surrounded by numerous admirers, indifferent to fame or determined to find it, they all reached technical maturity and were able to capture the true spirit of nature, which they depicted with boundless beauty and a delightful poetic style.

The Great Ladies of Chinese Painting will reach the hearts of all sentient beings without hindrance and when you contemplate their works, you will immediately understand the mysteries that will be revealed before you, and their imprint will be as strong as the thunder that manages to break the art of painting in silence.
