While checking out my town's new rare/used book store, Logos Books, I found this book of a collection of works from China's 'Central Academy of Arts & Design'. The full (and awkwardly translated) titled is "Selections of Designing Work the Central Academy of Arts & Design, 1956-1986" by Zhong Yang, Gong Yi Mei Shu Xue Yuan and She Ji Pin Xuan. I can find no information about the book online. Here are a few of my favorite book covers from the book. I'll post some posters and record designs from the book sometime soon.

The Selected Works of the Film songs, Chen Shaohua
Clown Hans, Yu Bingnan

Various forms of art have been used under the influence of great philosophers, teachers, religious figures and even political figures. Chinese art is rich with all facets of fine art, folk art and performance art.
