Comics and cartoons were very popular in Shanghai in the 1920s and 30s. There were dozens of such publications in magazines. The major publication was called “Modern Sketch”. First published by Zhang Guangyu and Zhang Zhengyu in 1928, it changed its name from “Shanghai Sketch” to “Modern Sketch” in 1930. The journal gathered many outstanding comic artists, including Cai Ruohong, Zhang Ding, Zhang Leping, Lu Shaofei, Ye Qianyu, Ding Cong,etc… Combining their Chinese styles with western art forms (Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Dadaism and Surrealism), which they can be said to have introduced to China, created a fresh, avant-garde style. In fact, the Chinese modern art movement had its origins in comics and cartoons and these had a profound impact on Chinese art history. There are, however, only very few examples of this kind left, which make these covers a very special collection.
