ISBN: 9780674539709 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Creating paintings with poetic resonances, sometimes with ties to specific lines of poetry, is a practice that began in China in the eleventh century, the Northern Sung period.

He shows us the revival of poetic painting by late Ming artists working in the prosperous city of Suchou.

Max Loehr and the Study of Chinese Bronzes
ISBN: 9781933947419 / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Max Loehr (1903-1988), the most distinguished historian of Chinese art of his generation, is celebrated above all for a 1953 art historical study of Chinese bronzes that effectively predicted discoveries Chinese archaeologists were about to make. Those discoveries in turn overthrew the theories of Loehr's great rival Bernhard Karlgren (1889-1978), a Swedish sinologue whose apparently scientific use of classification and statistics had long dominated Western studies of the bronzes. Revisiting a controversy that was ended by archaeology before the issues at stake were fully understood,...

Poetry and Painting in Song China: The Subtle Art of Dissent
ISBN: 9780674007826 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout the history of imperial China, the educated elite used various means to criticise government policies and actions. During the Song dynasty (960-1278), some members of this elite found an elegant and subtle means of dissent: landscape painting. By examining literary archetypes, the titles of paintings, contemporary inscriptions, and the historical context, Alfreda Murck shows that certain paintings expressed strong political opinions - some transparent, other deliberately concealed. She argues that the coding of messages in seemingly innocuous paintings was an important factor in...
