語言 中 / 英 / 法三種Languages Chinese / English / French《常玉：生平與油畫全集》第一卷，透過檔案資料、照片書信，以及常玉友人的描述來追溯常玉的一生——從他早年在中國和日本的生活，一直到他在巴黎窮困潦倒，不幸離世。常玉從1920年初抵巴黎，鑽研真人模特兒速寫，到開始探索油畫，餘生全心投入；從持續參加沙龍展和各種展覽，希望取得他始終無緣的成功；再到旅居紐約，最後返回巴黎，在種種難以克服的困境下，成為一個更成熟的藝術家。Volume One of Sanyu: His Life and Complete Works in Oil draws upon archival material, photographs, letters, and stories recounted by people who knew him to trace Sanyu’s life from his early years in China and Japan to his tragic death in Paris, impoverished and forgotten.
