en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2008
Baimiao, shuanggou, gongbi, xieyi, and mogu. These words define unique Chinese painting techniques or methods, each of which is seized by the artists whose work is shown in the exhibition, "Brilliant Strokes: Chinese Paintings from the Mactaggart Art Collection," at the University of Alberta Museums in 2008. These paintings span a period of five hundred years, from the fifteenth century to the twentieth century. Brilliant Strokes, the book, is a stunning accompaniment to the exhibition: art enthusiasts and readers intrigued by Asian art are invited to tour its luminous pages.

Recenzii

BACK COVER Baimiao (plain drawing), shuanggou (double outlines), gongbi (meticulous drawing), xieyi (jotting down ideas), and mogu (boneless, such as images rendered in washes with no contours), are just some of the painting techniques used by Chinese artists. This book accompanies the landmark exhibition, Brilliant Strokes: Chinese Paintings from the Mactaggart Art Collection, created and exhibited by the University of Alberta Museums. The paintings span a period of five hundred years—from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. Brilliant Strokes is the product of initial research conducted on a small fraction of the Chinese paintings in the Mactaggart Art Collection at the University of Alberta. Art enthusiasts and readers intrigued by Asian art are invited to linger among the lush images portrayed in these pages. FRONT FLAP “In addition to appreciating the artistic skills of these painters, we may learn something about their aspirations, emotions, and inner visions through these works.” —Ka Bo Tsang, from the Introduction “As the new owners of these important works of art held in public trust, the University of Alberta will ensure that gatherings of scholars continue to take place so that new research, interpretations, and comments can add to the body of knowledge on Chinese painting. Brilliant Strokes is our modern-day version of these gatherings and provides an excellent introduction to the paintings in the Mactaggart Art Collection.” —Janine Andrews, Executive Director, University of Alberta Museums from the Foreword BACK FLAP Ka Bo Tsang is curator of Chinese Painting at the Royal Ontario Museum. Exhibitions she has curated include: More than Keeping Cool: Chinese Fans and Fan Paintings (2001–2002), Touched by Indigo: Chinese Blue-and-White Textiles and Embroidery (2004–2005), Heaven or Hell: Images of Chinese Buddhist and Daoist Deities and Immortals (2006–2007), and Trade Winds: Chinese Export Wares from the 8th to 20th Centuries. Dr. Tsang has published internationally on symbolism in Chinese art and on her research into the Royal Ontario Museum’s collections.
"Superbly illustrated throughout, "Brilliant Strokes" is a seminal work of scholarship that is both highly recommended for academic Art History collections and non-specialist general readers with an interest in Chinese Art."
'"Brilliant Strokes: Chinese Paintings From the MacTaggart Art Collection" covers 'baimiao', 'gongbi', 'mogu' and other painting techniques used by Chinese artists. While it covers an exhibition created by the University of Alberta Museums and makes for an excellent catalog, it also stands well alone as a survey. Highly recommended for college-level art libraries and for collections in Chinese arts and culture.' – Midwest Book Review, January 2009
"This is the second in a series of publications dedicated to the analysis of a private donation of major Asian works to the University of Alberta. The folios in this edition contain works from the 15th to the late 20th centuries and include pen and ink illustrations of rural scenery, daily pursuits, and court life, as well as cameos of flowers, insects, and animals through the centuries.... The number of works under discussion is quite small, but it is evident that they have been chosen as representational of important schools and epochs of art.... This is a valuable tool as a quick overview of several centuries of Chinese painting." Lisa Arsenault, CBRA, 2009
