The Complete Prints of Sanyu

Sanyu was the only Chinese artist in the early 1930s to create Western-style prints. With a deep understanding of Chinese calligraphy, seals, and lacquerware carving, Sanyu infused his prints with fluid lines. Free from the distractions of materials and colors, his prints more perfectly refine his appreciation for simplicity. Following collections of oil paintings, sculptures, sketches, and watercolors, Yi Shufan presents the final chapter of Sanyu's collected works—The Complete Prints of Sanyu. This volume features forty-two Sanyu prints, many of which have never been seen before. It is hoped that the beauty of these works will speak for itself, encouraging more people to appreciate Sanyu through the full spectrum of his artistic output.
