The Great Grass Plains of Qinghai

  • Literature notes

    I wish to reveal the eternal meaning of mankind's existence through depicting the life and spirit of the Tibetan people.

    Wu Changjiang graduated from the Middle School attached to The Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 1976 and stayed on to teach at the Industrial Design Department until 1978, when he entered the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. After graduating with a Master’s degree in 1982, he taught in the CAFA. In 2003 he became the Deputy Party Secretary of the Academy. Wu works primarily in lithographic and etching techniques, and most of his work portrays the life of the herdsmen and women on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.
