About This Item
New Haven:: Yale University Art Gallery, 1994.. 1st Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: navy blue cloth with gilt; a Near Fine book, with a Near Fine dust jacket.. about 12.25 inches tall by 9.25 inches wide . Appendix, bibliography, index. Silver-gray endpapers. Description: Profusely illustrated in black and white and color. This was published in conjunction with an exhibition displayed at the Yale University Art Gallery, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Art Gallery at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Spenser Museum of Art in Lawrence, Kansas; the exhibit ran from April 1993 to June 1995. Includes maps and a chronology. From the jacket blurb: ''The collection of Chinese painting and calligraphy of the Ming and Qing dynasties assembled by the late Wong Nan-p'ing is among the finest still in private hands. The works constitute a near perfect illustration of the entire canon of orthodox painting -- styles which embody the aesthetic, philosophical, moral, and spiritual qualities of the scholar artist -- from 1450 to 1850. However the collection extends far beyond the boundaries of orthodoxy: strongly represented are the individualist masters and the Eccentrics of Yangzhou, who in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries developed imaginative variations on traditional themes; ink bamboo painting, calligraphy by some of the greatest Ming and Qing masters, and exquisite bird and flower paintings in the court tradition. Essays by eminent authorities in the field of Chinese art introduce the collection.''
