About the publisher

China Academy of Art Press is a professional institution centered on art publishing. Grounded in fine arts and oriented toward the broader field of art, it mainly publishes art textbook series and art theory series. Although the library contains only three titles, they clearly reflect its editorial orientation: Robert Hughes's The Shock of the New, Zha Changping's A History of Avant-Garde Art Thought, and Simon Schama's The Power of Art approach modern art history, avant-garde art concepts, and art criticism respectively, balancing theoretical depth and readability. In terms of authors, the press brings together art historians, critics, and intellectual historians, forming a publishing profile focused on art theory and visual culture. Because public information is limited, its overall product line and series structure cannot yet be fully outlined, but the existing titles show that the press emphasizes contemporary expression of the artistic spirit and the quality of visual reading, maintaining a balance between art education and academic communication.
