Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China is not simply a survey of sixteenth-century images, but rather, a thorough and thoughtful examination of visual culture in China's Ming Dynasty, one that considers images wherever they appeared—not only paintings, but also illustrated books, maps, ceramic bowls, lacquered boxes, painted fans, and even clothing and tomb pictures.
Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China is not simply a survey of sixteenth-century images, but rather, a thorough and thoughtful examination of visual culture in China's Ming Dynasty, one that considers images wherever they appeared—not only paintings, but also illustrated books, maps, ceramic bowls, lacquered boxes, painted fans, and even clothing and tomb pictures.
Clunas's theory of visuality incorporates not only the image and the object upon which it is placed but also the culture which produced and purchased it. Economic changes in sixteenth-century China—the rapid expansion of trade routes and a growing class of consumers—are thus intricately bound up with the evolution of the image itself. Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China will be a touchstone for students of Chinese history, art, and culture.

《早期现代中国的图像与视觉性》(Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China,下文简称《视觉性》)一书虽早自1997年便问世,不过新近中文译本之出版却丝毫无减其引领中国近世视觉文化研究的先锋理念。于柯律格(Craig Clunas)而言,这本章节内容看似纷杂、内里却一脉相...

纯美术史,绘画史看多了,有时免不了障目。Craig Clunas通过图像学的角度来阐释明朝艺术之大环境,且不说史料的丰富,单就这个角度也是让后来做艺术史的人有所启发。Richard Vinogard 在“stones from Other Mountains: Chinese Painting Studies in Postwar America"一文中就...

This book address some basic questions about Chinese visual arts. A basic proposition is that from 1400-1700 there was a transition in painting and other visual arts from referential to self-referential, e.g. from mimesis to symbolic. This book defies sim...

写得有趣的一本书。像明代印刷时代下书籍的普及与宗教等公共建筑壁画之间的竞争,就是一种很好理解却又很难理清楚但被作者大致上理个清楚的一章。下文,对于《三才图会》中“天、地、人”三大主题的表现方式的讨论,对理解明代人的视觉文化,很有启发:“天”的表达,反而越来越不具像了,地的表达则跟时代的商品化、地图、收藏品的制作有关。。。。第5章讨论的是“木版印刷时代的艺术”,外加一章专讲情色画。
