This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Chinese / China, grade: 1,0, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, course: Late Imperial and Contemporary Arts of China, language: English, abstract: Being established as one of the most influential artists of the Shanghai School, Wu Changshuo’s life and work have been investigated on several accounts, each adding more to the picture of the highly unorthodox painter, whose focus on self-expression stood above all other aesthetical issues. The aim of this study is therefore not to try and add more details to his story, but to introduce Wu Changshuo specifically as a painter – though his painting was least appreciated by himself – and to show that underneath the quite modern style typical of the Shanghai School there was still an orthodox painter, clinging to literati ideals of long gone dynasties. I will also show thatthe actual Wu Changshuo – the painter and the person – can be seen in his landscapes rather than in his multitudinous paintings of flowers and fruits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Making of A Modern Art World explores the artistic institutions and discursive practices prevailing in Republican Shanghai, aiming to reconstruct the operational logic and the stratified hierarchy of Shanghai’s art world. Using guohua as the point of entry, this book interrogates the discourse both of guohua itself, and the wider discourse of Chinese modernism in the visual arts. In the light of the sociological definition of ‘art world’, this book contextualizes guohua through focusing on the modes of production and consumption of painting in Shanghai, examining newly adopted modern artistic practices, namely, art associations, periodicals, art colleges, exhibitions, and the art market.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Painter, calligrapher, collector, and connoisseur, C. C. Wang's (1907-2003) contribution to Chinese art in the past century was broad and deep. Of his long and versatile career, his developments and achievements as artist are the focus of this study. Born in Suzhou to a family of rich cultural background, Wang received training in traditional painting and calligraphy at an early age. Under the tutelage of Gu Linshi and Wu Hufan, both exemplars of the centuries-old orthodox painting tradition, C. C. Wang was committed to reworking the landscape conventions of past masters, particularly the four masters of the Yuan dynasty, Dong Qichang of the Ming period, and the Four Wangs of the early Qing. After he emigrated to the U.S. in 1949, Wang was nourished by the Western artistic climate and embarked on a search for a personal style with greater currency in contemporary times. Inspired by Abstract Expressionism and fellow expatriate Chinese artists' attempts to blend Chinese and Western painting approaches, he developed a distinguished landscape style by combining brushwork and non-brush textural effects achieved through "controlled accidents." In the last phase of his career, while he underwent rather dramatic changes in subject and style, C. C. Wang returned to a reliance on the brush and rarely used impressed textures. In his late works that include landscapes, still lifes, rock paintings, calligraphic images, and abstractions, he aspired to capture the essence of Chinese painting aesthetics in the truest sense. Based on a division of C. C. Wang's development into four phases, this study investigates his entire artistic career, discussing his innovative landscapes as a synthetic product of his traditional painting background, encyclopedic knowledge in the history of Chinese art, and extensive exposure to concurrent artistic trends in the East and the West. Emphasis is put on his late works, particularly calligraphic images and abstractions, as the final culmination of his decades of artistic transformation and a (re)turn to the basics of Chinese painting aesthetics after a process of distillation and abstraction.

Download or read book On Telling Images of China written by Shane McCausland and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume address a diverse range of issues in China’s narrative art and visual culture mainly from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) to the present. These studies attend to the complex ways in which images circulate in pictorial media and across boundaries between ‘high art’ and popular culture—images in paintings, prints, stone engravings and posters, as well as in film and video art. In addition, the authors examine the roles of ancient exemplary stories and textual narratives, as well as their reiteration in the visual arts in early modern and modern social and political contexts. The volume is divided into three sections: Representing Paradigms, Interpreting Literary Themes and Narratives, and the Medium and Modernity. While the essays in each section deal with concerns in the field of China’s art history, an editors’ introduction serves to position the topic of narrative art and to introduce definitions and genre issues which run through the book. As a whole, the volume invites reflection on the intrinsic nature of narratives and their pictorial lives, and presents new research which challenges established views and paradigms.

Download or read book Art and Artists of Twentieth-Century China written by Michael Sullivan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This visually stunning book focuses on the rebirth of Chinese art in the twentieth century under the influence of Western art and culture. Michael Sullivan, recognized throughout the world as a leading scholar of Chinese art, vividly documents the conflicting pulls of traditional and Western values on Chinese art and provides 364 illustrations, in color and black-and-white, to show the great range of artistic expression and the historical processes that occurred within various movements. A substantial biographical index of twentieth-century Chinese artists is a valuable addition to the text. Sullivan discusses artists and their work against China's background of oppression and relaxation, despair and hope. He expertly conveys the diverse and at times bizarre intertwining of Chinese cultural history and art during this century. Included are the intense debates between traditionalists and reformers, the creation of the first art schools, and the birth of the idea—shocking in ethnocentric China—that art is a world language that obliterates all frontiers. The scholarly traditions of classical Chinese painting, the belated discovery of Western modernism, the artistic upheaval under Communism, and China's rethinking of the very nature of art all have a place in Sullivan's fascinating history. Michael Sullivan has known many of the major figures in China's modern art movement of the 1930s and 1940s and has also gained the confidence of younger artists who rose to prominence following the 1979 "Peking Spring." This long-awaited book—richly documented and abundantly illustrated—is a capstone to Sullivan's work and will be enthusiastically welcomed by art lovers everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complexity and confusion of styles and intentions are true characteristics of modern Chinese art. Just as the definition of "modernity" was subjected to reinterpretations at various points in China's recent history, current notions of the canon are likewise subjected to change. This book -- consisting of ten articles by art historians, artist, historian, and curator -- explores the developments of Chinese art in the 20th century, applying critical theories to question and reinterpret concepts that are normally taken for granted. Their writings also reveal the thought processes in which the authors filtered what they considered to be important information, especially regarding people, events, dates, and artworks. As such, the topic of each article is, in itself, a result of judicious selection. This volume demonstrates how modern Chinese art history has been -- and can be -- written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from Life explores revolutionary drawing and sketching in the early People’s Republic of China (1949–1965) in order to discover how artists created a national form of socialist realism. Tracing the development of seminal works by the major painters Xu Beihong, Wang Shikuo, Li Keran, Li Xiongcai, Dong Xiwen, and Fu Baoshi, author Christine I. Ho reconstructs how artists grappled with the representational politics of a nascent socialist art. The divergent approaches, styles, and genres presented in this study reveal an art world that is both heterogeneous and cosmopolitan. Through a history of artistic practices in pursuit of Maoist cultural ambitions—to forge new registers of experience, new structures of feeling, and new aesthetic communities—this original book argues that socialist Chinese art presents a critical, alternative vision for global modernism.
