The Art of the Chinese Picture-Scroll de Shane McCausland

The Art of the Chinese Picture-Scroll

Autor Shane McCausland
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 feb 2024
The first extended history of the Chinese picture-scroll.
 
The Chinese picture-scroll, a long, horizontal painting or calligraphic work, has been China’s pre-eminent aesthetic form throughout the last two millennia. This first history of the picture-scroll explores its extraordinary longevity and adaptability to social, political, and technological change. The book describes what the picture-scroll demands of a viewer, how China’s artists grappled with its cultural power, and how collectors and connoisseurs left their marks on scrolls for later generations to judge.

Recenzii

"McCausland traces the evolution of picture-scrolls from 221 BCE . . . to contemporary practice . . . McCausland’s book offers a fresh perspective on the Chinese picture-scroll, adopting an interdisciplinary approach that moves beyond the conventional focus on style. Instead, he explores the relationship between imagery and text and the broader context of material culture, considering the visual and physical impact of the works on viewers and their reception in society with the aim to understand how these works functioned over time."

"Exploring its extraordinary longevity and its adaptability to social, political and technological change, the first extended history of the picture-scroll, China's pre-eminent aesthetic format of the last two millennia."

"Lavishly illustrated and lucidly expounded, this is the first book that extols the remarkable potentiality of the handscroll format in Chinese painting. Covering a wide timespan of more than fifteen hundred years, the book demonstrates how the format can foster multiple perspectives and stimulate thoughts on the historiography, materiality, and affective affordances of Chinese painting."

“Eruditely written. . . . A welcome addition to the corpus of studies on Chinese painting, written by a scholar deeply immersed in the subject and well able to share his knowledge with the reader in an engaging and lively way.”
