The five volumes of this set gather and reproduce a total of 200 masterpieces of Chinese painting and calligraphy from private collections, previously unseen by the public. Whereas many previous book have showcased many famous and widely seen works, this collection is unprecedented in its depiction of works in private hands, many of which would have been unknown to the general public at the time of its publication. Since then many of the included works have been on the private collectors market. The production of the set took two years and was difficult and involved multiple international teams of researchers and collaborators. Starting in 1966, the paintings works were selected from private collections around the world and were reviewed to determine their authenticity. The following year, the paintings were photographed and the content of the book was organized and edited. The contents of the set are as follows: Vol.1: 36 works (including Ma Yuan, Xia Gui and Su Shi) Vol.2: 41 works (including Qian Xuan, Huang Gongwnag) Vol.3: 46 works (including Shen Zhou, Tang Yin) Vol.4: 34 works (including Bada Shanren, Shitao) Vol.5: 43 works (including Wuli, Wang Hui) The reproductions are in color, with some larger (longer) works being split up over multiple plates.

Softcover. Condizione: vg+ to near fine. First edition. Elephant folios. 21x15". Dark blue cloth stiff wrappers, with gilt lettering on the covers and spines. Decorative gold-speckled endpapers with dragon motifs. The set contains 8 volumes collecting and reproducing the work of the acclaimed group of Chinese painters active in the 18th century, known as the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.

The set contains a total of 183 paintings, gathering works from around the world, including museums and private collections. Being the largest and most comprehensive collection of these master's works ever assembled, the set reproduces works from hand scrolls, hanging scrolls, albums, and traditional painted fans.

W?ng ShìShèn (???) known for skills in painting plums and human figures, as well as seal cutting and calligraphy. 2. Huáng Shèn (??) known for bold colors and images of common people, religious and historical subjects. 3. L? Shàn (??/??) known for splash-ink painting and long poem calligraphy. 4.
