Chinese Art and Its Encounter with the World


David Clarke
Published in print: 2011 Published Online: Publisher: Hong Kong University Press January 2012 DOI: 10.5790/ ISBN: 9789888083060 eISBN: 9789882209794 hongkong/9789888083060.001.0001 Item type: book

This book offers a bridge into the critical understanding of modern Chinese art through its encounter with the world beyond China's borders. It demonstrates Chinese art's interconnections with Western cultures while exploring its inherited cultural traditions and internal historical change. The first section deals with the cross-cultural trajectories of individual Chinese artists who travelled from China to the West and then returned. In the second section, the focus shifts from the movement of individual artists between cultures to the process by which specific genres of Western art have been interpreted by Chinese artists. The final section illuminates the encounter of cultures via visual representations of Macau and Hong Kong.
