Published in 1979 by Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House, the comic strip "Tang Taizong" is a representative work of the famous painter Mr. Xiang Weiren, and it is also a famous work.
Mr. Xiang also had a number of well-received works before creating "Tang Taizong", but they were all collaborated with others, only this "Tang Taizong" was his first independent comic strip work.
At that time, Xiang Weiren had just reached the end of his life, and he poured out great enthusiasm to create this comic strip with great enthusiasm, which took about two years.
Mr. Xiang recalled this creative process: "When painting comic strips, painters have to play different roles, both as directors and actors, as setsmen and costumers... The richer the knowledge and the richer the imagination, the richer and more vivid the picture. ”
Mr. Xiang Weiren's painting style is rigorous and neat, simple and natural, without pretense, and exudes an elegant and aesthetic charm. He has created more than fifty comic strips in his decades of painting career, which is not particularly prolific, but he has won awards in the "National Comic Book Selection" for three consecutive years, and his achievements are remarkable.
