Book excerpt: Try your hands at these historically and culturally important methods, and create some beautiful paintings of your own. Chinese painting is an ancient art that has evolved and become refined over many centuries. Artists brush ink and color pigments onto silk or paper using a variety of techniques, with two main approaches: gongbi a traditional and realistic style based on line drawing, and xieyi style, a freehand method that uses fewer strokes to suggest objects in a less literal way. Painting themes generally fall into three categories: figure, landscaping, and bird-and-flower. Chinese brush painting is mainly presented in lines, shades and white space to express the feelings about nature, social phenomena, and the very essence of the universe. The framework for this expression is often traditional: certain subjects carry cultural connotations that are well-known and imbue the painting with a layer of meaning beyond face value of objects shown. The traditional subjects such as mandarin ducks, butterflies, and the 'Four Gentlemen' (plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemum) are examples that contain this rich cultural meaning. Readers will learn first about the tools and materials, then painting techniques. Early pages explore the very basic painting methods and subjects—perfect for beginning painters—but continue to build skills for painting plants and animals of increasing complexity. Chinese Brush Painting illustrates several Chinese brush painting techniques with the use of different tools, brushwork and color mixing. With the step-by-step projects, you can first follow the introductory lessons to learn the necessary skills of brushwork, usage of paper, and characteristics of water, ink and colors; then follow the advanced lessons to learn the compositions and more complicated color applications.

Book excerpt: Through the lens of the four seasons--spring, summer, autumn, and winter--this publication explores intimate visual storytelling embedded within small-scale Chinese landscape paintings. Whether formatted in a popular fan shape, as an album leaf, a handscroll, hanging scroll, or a glossy ceramic, the paintings featured in this publication were intended to be studied up close and to be handled. Many of the paintings combine the elevated art form of calligraphy with inscriptions that describe famous Chinese painting styles, reference poetry, provide dedications to friends and family, and offer dates for when the works were made. Katherine Anne Paul provides an overview of visual keys that unlock the seasonality in the paintings. Intended to enhance and intensify the viewing experience, calligraphy, an elevated artform unto itself, compliments the paintings' imagery. The intended audience of these works could fully read the inscriptions, thereby understanding their personal, poetic, and cultural significance. Ruoxin Wang's English translations of the inscriptions provide this understanding for all readers. Richard A. Pegg delves into some of the deeper coded visual and cultural language of the potentially "endless combinations of painting, poetry, and calligraphy." Kayi Ho discusses how late Qing cultural elites of Guangdong "adapted the artistic tastes and cultural practices popular in the Jiangnan area" to bring forward a fluorescence of painting for this region while harnessing earlier precedents. Doris Sung poses the question, "Why are there so few women in Chinese art history?" and answers it in part by elevating named women painters in the late Qing period. An interview with Curator Emeritus Donald A. Wood provides insights into institutional transparency for acquisitions and provenance for how two extraordinary but underknown collections of Guangdong regional painting of the late Qing period and early Republic period came to Birmingham, Alabama.

Book excerpt: "Chinese ink painting is one of the oldest continually practiced art forms in the world. It first appeared in China in the fifth century, and soon traveled to Korea and then to Japan. As old and deeply rooted in East Asian aesthetics and meditation as it is, ink painting is credited with influencing the development of Western modern art. Its minimalist approach to painting continues to have enormous appeal. Artist and teacher Sungsook Setton, who learned the techniques with Chinese and Korean masters in her native South Korea, brings new excitement to this age-old art. While teaching the traditional disciplines for holding and using the brush, she shows students how to turn the techniques and inner meditation toward interpreting their own world: city views, music, and the essence of contemporary life"--
