In China, the 20th Century was marked by dramatic social and political changes. It saw the end of the Qing Dynasty, the emergence of regional warlord governments, a Japanese military occupation, the Chinese Civil War and the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It was equally eventful in the fields of music, painting, drama and literature. Behind this transformation was a group of remarkable individuals, men who persevered despite national and personal tragedies. A new ten-part documentary series explores their contributions and legacies.

Wow… Lagendary great master, thank you
Thank you for this education.
Apart from the wavering sound quality, a great story! Love the later work!!
Looks like an interesting documentary but straining both to hear the narrator and read the tiny subtitles.
Alas I reluctantly abandoned.
All your previous content is excellent and informative, loved every minute!
Put on headphones
Eye opening for someone living in the UK. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you.
Sound issues – no big deal. Still a good documentary about an important artist.
Fabulous artist – thank you.
This was brilliant. Thank you. I’d love to see more documentaries on Asian art.
Japanese Ukiyo-e, although not three-dimensional, has a sense of rhythm, while Chinese art pays attention to white space, so Asian art has its own differences.
“Picasso from the East.” I’d say a more natural comparison would of been Monet. They both pursued beauty despite the presence of invading armies to their country. Made their own gardens and used declining eyesight as a gateway to advancing their art styles.
Aside from this, there is a natural tendency of Artist documentaries towards a lionizing haliography, but this feels turned up to 11. Unfortunately it makes the documentary feel a little fake.
Fake, yes it is.
Thank you for letting me know about this great artist totally unknown to me up until now. Unknown no more.
Anytime I see Waldemar I click
I swear to god If there was a 12 hour video of the guy I would have no problem watching it
So please if you can find more of him try to do so !
This guy literally lived and died for his art 😄
Good that you also feature Asian artists. Thanks for the feature.
Not sure about being Picasso but he’s had a crazy life
“Good artists copy; great artists steal.” Picasso I enjoyed where this brought Zhang Daquin. A true artist until the end.
Please do one on the song dynasty master like Ma Yuan! so much to unpack in those majestic landscapes!
Por favor apliquen el traductor. Gracias.
Agree with Gavin on acknowledging the importance in increasing Western awareness of Eastern artists.
Agree with Abel in difficulties in reading reading CC due to 10 or smaller font size.
Nevertheless…. Thanks for all the effort in researching, organizing, editing, and producing the assortment of artists documentaries especially showcasing Eastern Artists!
just discovered this. Wow amazing
If Perspective is going to re-broadcast documentaries, at minimum the sound should be of acceptable quality.
