About "Big Red Robe"
"Publish a collection of paintings that can be handed down to the world!" Under such a belief, the "Collection of Paintings of Chinese Modern and Modern Masters" was born in September 1993, and since then, the development of the new Chinese art publishing industry has left a touch of fresh and solemn red on the picture scroll, becoming a classic brand in the publishing field that has persisted for 30 years and has been flourishing for a long time. Edited and published by the People's Fine Arts Publishing House, "Collection of Paintings of Chinese Modern and Modern Masters" has been given the title of "Big Red Robe" by the industry because of the grand scale of the topic selection, strict publishing regulations, high-quality work screening standards and the bronzing envelope of Chinese red, and the paintings included in it represent the highest level of current Chinese painting. "Da Hong Pao" is a national key art publishing project, which has been published for 30 years since September 1993. With the change of the sun and the moon, "Da Hong Pao" not only gathers a large number of famous artists, but also engraves the history of art development in New China, and makes important contributions to promoting the inheritance, innovation and development of Chinese art.
According to the strategic layout of the People's Fine Arts Publishing House's "Four Beauties", "Da Hong Pao" has also been given new development requirements. Today's "Big Red Robe" is not just "a collection of paintings that can be passed down to the world". It has also become a comprehensive art platform integrating professional publishing, art exhibitions, academic seminars, and auction transactions. The People's Fine Arts Publishing House will continue to maintain the classic brand of "Da Hong Pao", so that more excellent works of art can shine and enter thousands of households.
