Facing China: Truth and Memory in Portraiture

Autor Richard Vinograd
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2022
A highly illustrated examination of portraiture in China across media and millennia.
 
Facing China is an exploration of the portrait arts in China from the dynastic to the modern and contemporary, in painting, sculpture, photography, and video. The book focuses on truth and memory in the portraiture process, from encounters between subject, portrait, and artist, to broader familial, social, and political arenas. It also examines the influence of location on portrait production, reception, and display, from tombs, ancestral shrines, temples, gardens, and palace halls to public and private spaces.
 
Featuring one hundred fifty fine illustrations, with one hundred in color, Facing China has much to say to specialists in the field as well as general readers interested in Chinese art.

Recenzii

"Among the first substantial gatherings of visuals of ancient, modern, and contemporary Chinese portraits in various formats and from around the world, this volume provides valuable firsthand visual materials for further study and exploration. . . Recommended."

"Vinograd’s brilliant Facing China fearlessly renegotiates the challenging territory of the Chinese portrait. Through attentive analysis and compelling readings, he offers a rich new vision of the portrait as agent and interface, one capable of generating human bonds and identities across lineage, community, cultures, and time."

Facing China casts a broader vision across time and space that fully reflects the author’s erudition, traversing boundaries between the historical and the modern/contemporary China and engaging cross-cultural issues beyond China to the global.”

"Facing China, drawing on Vinograd’s unsurpassed knowledge of the historical materials as well as his profoundly theoretical and creative approaches, is a brilliant and unprecedented study of portraits in Chinese visual culture."
