| Summary: | Positioning Chinese Painting in National Painting Monthly -- Canon and Place in the Paintings of He Tianjian -- In Search of the Southeast: Writing and Picturing Travel -- Painting from Nature and Transmedial Practice: Yu Jianhua's Travel Albums -- The Making of a Standard Mountain: Reshaping the Iconography of Mount Huang -- Travel and Cultural History in the Paintings of Huang Binhong -- Epilogue: Landscape Painting in Times of War. 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, the author 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"-- 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 |
