The fourth episode of A Touch of Wuxi, a micro-documentary series about Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province, has been released.
Titled "Eternal Brushstrokes, Timeless Ink Fragrance", this episode explores the painters born in the city and their remarkable achievements.
Located southern Jiangnan, Wuxi is one of the birthplaces of traditional Chinese landscape painting and literati calligraphy. The city has produced countless cultural luminaries and artistic figures, earning a prestigious reputation in the global art scene.
The art scene in Wuxi has flourished with exceptional talents from ancient times to modern days. In the confluence of ancient and contemporary influences, Wuxi artists have inherited tradition and responded to the time.
Among them, Wu Guanzhong, a painting master of the 20th century, holds an indispensable position in Chinese art history. Bridging the gap between Eastern and Western traditions, he blended traditional Chinese paintings with Western modern art, expressing the essence of "Jiangnan" and Chinese cultural aesthetics through his unique style.
Today, the art scene in the city continues to thrive with a rich pool of talents who, with an inclusive and open-minded approach, are advancing Chinese painting nationally and globally while maintaining a deep connection to the heritage of Wuxi, driving the progress of Chinese art.
