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. Richly illustrated, 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.
##以为是介绍如何欣赏中国画的书,看完才发现是关于“什么是中国画”的书,以及这个问题在当下的延伸,更像是个哲学问题的探索,角度相当的有新意。 我们说中国画,潜意识中似乎往往就已经把指代了水墨画,而题材也似乎就局限在山水,花鸟之类,在看这本书之前似乎也少有的意识到...
评分 评分##这本书读完,倒是像读了一本史书,而不是艺术书籍。里面大量的文献引用,几乎占了半本书。但是这种绘画史的写作方式,又只是用来探讨本书的最主要三个问题:"在中国,什么是画的本来概念;当今这个中国画概念是怎么来的;我们未来需要怎么去看中国画?" 毫无疑问,作者认为中国...
评分##写得很fancy,问题是太fancy了......感觉第六章简直没法翻成中文,处处皆雷点~
评分##The genealogy of "Chinese painting," questioning the "Chineseness" in writing Chinese art history from both domestic and outside through the 15th century towards today, by tracing the construction of the concept of "painting" in China。关心的问题并不新颖了,对“Chineseness”的提问也不前言了,但在艺术史领域一直没有这样的写作也是奇怪。柯律格运用大量史料和物证,分析大量绘画来证明他的论点。一次有趣的阅读体验。
评分 评分##拿到书的时候就被最后厚厚的注释和参考文献部分惊到了,距离上次读到很多注释和参考文献的书还是几年前林语堂的《苏东坡传》。 不过正式读起来就发现并不是如想象中晦涩,作者在学术性和可读性之间实现了很好的平衡。(丰富细腻的插画也有功劳,毕竟谁会不喜欢画哩?) 我是很乐...
