Comment moved from the article[edit]

This was on the mainpage but it should be here:

The last of the literati is a simplistic approach to C C's contribution to and place in the history of Chinese painting. The ideal of the literati cannot die, it is simply re-inventing itself continually, and will do so indefinitely into the future. C C was part of an important surge of creativity among expatriate Chinese artists displaced by events culminating in the communist control of China in 1949, but he is far from the last of the literati. No time to explain the whole thing, which needs a re-assessment of what the modern western revolution actually achieved, which is widely misunderstood, and what 'modern' Chinese art really is, which is equally misinterpreted, but the 'last authentic literaus' is misleading.
