Description: Juliane Noth shows how art and discussions about the future of ink painting were linked to the reshaping of the country, leading to the creation of a uniquely modern Chinese landscape imagery. Noth offers a new understanding of these experiments by studying them as transmedial practice, at once shaped by and integral to the modern global art world.
Brief description: Juliane Noth is Professor of East Asian Art History at Freie Universität Berlin.
Review Quotes: A comprehensive and insightful series of analyses on the problems of landscape painting and its practitioners at the junction of intermediation via photography, and on the need to proclaim and reinforce the continuity of 'Chinese landscape painting'. Because of its detail and precise analysis this text will be an important reference for some time.--John Clark "21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual" (9/27/2023 12:00:00 AM)
