The Art of the Chinese Picture-Scroll
Autor Shane McCauslanden Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 feb 2024
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
"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.”
