  • Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. xiii, 642 pages : illustrations ; 31 cm. Chiefly in English; some articles in Chinese and Japanese. "Papers presented for an International Conference at National Taiwan University, October 4-7, 2002."'This volume of essays was generated by the Taiwan 2002 Conference on the History of Painting in East Asia convened October 4-7, 2002, at National Taiwan University, Taipei. The objectives of this conference were threefold. The first was to honor the scholarship of the pioneering generation of scholars who led the development of the field after World War II. The second was to confirm the current state of scholarly development. Finally, the third was to explore new directions for future research and publish new research and methodologies.   The five topical categories include "Studies of Canonical Paintings," "Buddhist Painting," "Literati Painting," "Art Historical Methodology," "and "Recent and Contemporary Painting." This volume includes the entire contents of the conference; a foreword and two sets of opening remarks, one keynote address, twenty essays, five sets of introductions and responses, and concluding remarks, encompassing the history of painting in China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Authors are, for the most part, scholars from major universities or museums from around the world. In addition to the introductions, insightful critiques by scholars of elder generations follow each group of essays.   The scholars represented in this volume include (in alphabetical order) Helmut Brinker, James Cahill, Chen Pao-chen, Craig Clunas, Donohashi Akio, Ebine Toshio, Wen C. Fong, Fu Shen, Robert E. Harrist, Jr., Jonathan Hay, Itakura Masaaki, Lee Yu-min, Lothar Ledderose, Youngsook Pak, John Rosenfield, Sano Midori, Sato Doshin, Sato Yasuhiro, Timon Screech, Shih Shou-chien, Shimao Arata, Yoshiaki Shimizu, Jerome Silbergeld, Takeda Tsuneo, Tsuji Nobuo, Richard Vinograd, Wan Qingli, Marsha Weidner, Wu Hung, Yen Chuan-ying, and Yi Song-mi. In many ways, the publication of this volume can be regarded as a landmark in the research of painting history in East Asia.'.
