The secret language of Chinese landscape painting A genre dating back more than 1,000 years, China's landscape painting tradition reflects all of its cultural and intellectual history, and its representational language famously follows its own rules. What at first glance seem to be idyllic ink-wash pictures actually depict far more than romantic landscapes. Through subtle allusions and references, Chinese landscape painters were able to convey a whole range of messages, from social positions to political opposition, all the way to philosophical observations and very personal feelings. This splendid illustrated volume unlocks these codes and juxtaposes important historical works with landscape paintings by internationally renowned modern and contemporary artists. The dialogue between past and present reveals surprising links, but also ruptures and conflicts.

Chinese ink painters of the Republican period (1911–1949) creatively engaged with a range of art forms in addition to ink, such as oil painting, drawing, photography, and woodblock prints. They transformed their medium of choice in innovative ways, reinterpreting both its history and its theoretical foundations. Juliane Noth offers a new understanding of these compelling experiments in Chinese painting by studying them as transmedial practice, at once shaped by and integral to the modern global art world. Transmedial Landscapes and Modern Chinese Painting shines a spotlight on the mid-1930s, a period of intense productivity in which Chinese artists created an enormous number of artworks and theoretical texts. The book focuses on the works of three seminal artists, Huang Binhong, He Tianjian, and Yu Jianhua, facilitating fresh insights into this formative stage of their careers and into their collaborations in artworks and publications. In a nuanced reading of paintings, photographs, and literary and theoretical texts, Noth shows how artworks and discussions about the future of ink painting were intimately linked to the reshaping of the country through infrastructure development and tourism, thus leading to the creation of a uniquely modern Chinese landscape imagery.

"How did modern Chinese painters see landscape? Did they depict nature in the same way as premodern Chinese painters? What does the artistic perception of modern Chinese painters reveal about the relationship between artists and the nation-state? Could an understanding of modern Chinese landscape painting tell us something previously unknown about art, political change, and the epistemological and sensory regime of twentieth-century China? Yi Gu tackles these questions by focusing on the rise of open-air painting in modern China. Chinese artists almost never painted outdoors until the late 1910s, when the New Culture Movement prompted them to embrace direct observation, linear perspective, and a conception of vision based on Cartesian optics. The new landscape practice brought with it unprecedented emphasis on perception and redefined artistic expertise. Central to the pursuit of open-air painting from the late 1910s right through to the early 1960s was a reinvigorated and ever-growing urgency to see suitably as a Chinese and to see the Chinese homeland correctly. Examining this long-overlooked ocular turn, Gu not only provides an innovative perspective from which to reflect on complicated interactions of the global and local in China, but also calls for rethinking the nature of visual modernity there."

Through the lens of the four seasons--spring, summer, autumn, and winter--this publication explores intimate visual storytelling embedded within small-scale Chinese landscape paintings. Whether formatted in a popular fan shape, as an album leaf, a handscroll, hanging scroll, or a glossy ceramic, the paintings featured in this publication were intended to be studied up close and to be handled. Many of the paintings combine the elevated art form of calligraphy with inscriptions that describe famous Chinese painting styles, reference poetry, provide dedications to friends and family, and offer dates for when the works were made. Katherine Anne Paul provides an overview of visual keys that unlock the seasonality in the paintings. Intended to enhance and intensify the viewing experience, calligraphy, an elevated artform unto itself, compliments the paintings' imagery. The intended audience of these works could fully read the inscriptions, thereby understanding their personal, poetic, and cultural significance. Ruoxin Wang's English translations of the inscriptions provide this understanding for all readers. Richard A. Pegg delves into some of the deeper coded visual and cultural language of the potentially "endless combinations of painting, poetry, and calligraphy." Kayi Ho discusses how late Qing cultural elites of Guangdong "adapted the artistic tastes and cultural practices popular in the Jiangnan area" to bring forward a fluorescence of painting for this region while harnessing earlier precedents. Doris Sung poses the question, "Why are there so few women in Chinese art history?" and answers it in part by elevating named women painters in the late Qing period. An interview with Curator Emeritus Donald A. Wood provides insights into institutional transparency for acquisitions and provenance for how two extraordinary but underknown collections of Guangdong regional painting of the late Qing period and early Republic period came to Birmingham, Alabama.
