- This book generates a particularly extensive, complex, and original thesis about Chinese painting over five hundred years, deploying an unprecedentedly broad range of visual and textual materials. It is the first exploration in any language of the full range of painting’s viewers, encompassing literati and imperial elites as well as the frameworks of commerce and- more abstractly– the nation and ‘the people’, from the Ming period to the twentieth century. Based on many years of research in primary sources, it constitutes an explicit and sustained challenge to prevalent Eurocentric constructions of metapainting, the ‘self-aware image’, as constitutive of ‘modernity’.
