This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive and Historical Catalogue of a Collection of Japanese and Chinese Paintings in the British Museum Tm: paintings and drawings described in the following pages were brought together in the course of a residence of over six years in Japan, for the purpose of illustrating an ancient and remarkable phase of art in its historical, intellectual, and technical develop ments, and the principal motives by which it has been inspired. The great majority of the works are Japanese, but a number of ancient and modern Chinese pictures have been added to demon strate the relationship between the arts of the sister empires. In the construction of the catalogue it has been judged advisable, in view of the novelty of the subject to Western readers, to give a larger amount of general explanation than would be necessary in a similar work on European art: the pictures have been classified according to schools, and to each group is prefixed an account of the main facts in the history of the school, with a list of the principal artists whose names have found a place in native biographical records; and, lastly, the legendary and other motives have been dealt with more or less in detail. It was originally pro posed to introduce a preliminary sketch of the. History, technique, forms, and characteristics of sinico-japanese painting, together with a review of the various applications of pictorial design; but as such an essay would have led to an inconvenient increase in the bulk and expense of the volume, and was judged to be more suitable to a private undertaking, I have therefore made it a separate work, incorporating with it such extracts from the catalogue as might be necessary to give completeness to the historical section, and illustrating it with reproductions of the more typical examples of the art. It is now in course of publication by Messrs. Sampson Low 6: Cc., under the title of The Pictorial Arts of J apan. The present collection, although comprising representative speci mens of all the various schools, must be regarded only as a nucleus.

Book Synopsis The Reception of Chinese Art Across Cultures by : Michelle Ying Ling Huang
Download or read book The Reception of Chinese Art Across Cultures written by Michelle Ying Ling Huang and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reception of Chinese Art Across Cultures is a collection of essays examining the ways in which Chinese art has been circulated, collected, exhibited and perceived in Japan, Europe and America from the fourteenth century to the twenty-first. Scholars and curators from East Asia, Europe and North America jointly present cutting-edge research on cultural integration and aesthetic hybridisation in relation to the collecting, display, making and interpretation of Chinese art and material culture. Stimulating examples within this volume emphasise the Western understanding of Chinese pictorial art, while addressing issues concerning the consumption of Chinese art and Chinese-inspired artistic productions from early times to the contemporary period; the roles of collector, curator, museum and auction house in shaping the taste, meaning and conception of art; and the art and cultural identity of the Chinese diaspora in a global context. This book espouses a multiplicity of aesthetic, philosophical, socio-cultural, economic and political perspectives, and encourages academics, students, art and museum practitioners to re-think their encounters with the objects, practices, people and institutions surrounding the study of Chinese art and culture in the past and the present.

Book Synopsis The Great Chinese Art Transfer by : Michael St. Clair
Download or read book The Great Chinese Art Transfer written by Michael St. Clair and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of how and why millions of Chinese works of art got exported to collectors and institutions in the West, in particular to the United States. As China’s last dynasty was weakening and collapsing from 1860 into the early years of the twentieth century, China’s internal chaos allowed imperial and private Chinese collections to be scattered, looted and sold. A remarkable and varied group of Westerners entered the country, had their eyes opened to centuries of Chinese creativity and gathered up paintings, bronzes and ceramics, as well as sculptures, jades and bronzes. The migration to America and Europe of China’s art is one of the greatest outflows of a culture’s artistic heritage in human history. A good deal of the art procured by collectors and dealers, some famous and others little known but all remarkable in individual ways, eventually wound up in American and European museums. Today some of the art still in private hands is returning to China via international auctions and aggressive purchases by Chinese millionaires.

Book Synopsis Chinese Painting and Its Audiences by : Craig Clunas
Download or read book Chinese Painting and Its Audiences written by Craig Clunas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the reception of Chinese painting from the sixteenth century to the present What is Chinese painting? When did it begin? And what are the different associations of this term in China and the West? In Chinese Painting and Its Audiences, which is based on the A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts given at the National Gallery of Art, leading art historian Craig Clunas draws from a wealth of artistic masterpieces and lesser-known pictures, some of them discussed here in English for the first time, to show how Chinese painting has been understood by a range of audiences over five centuries, from the Ming Dynasty to today. Chinese Painting and Its Audiences demonstrates that viewers in China and beyond have irrevocably shaped this great artistic tradition. Arguing that audiences within China were crucially important to the evolution of Chinese painting, Clunas considers how Chinese artists have imagined the reception of their own work. By examining paintings that depict people looking at paintings, he introduces readers to ideal types of viewers: the scholar, the gentleman, the merchant, the nation, and the people. In discussing the changing audiences for Chinese art, Clunas emphasizes that the diversity and quantity of images in Chinese culture make it impossible to generalize definitively about what constitutes Chinese painting. Exploring the complex relationships between works of art and those who look at them, Chinese Painting and Its Audiences sheds new light on how the concept of Chinese painting has been formed and reformed over hundreds of years.
