Neuware - Im 18. Jahrhundert begann in Kanton eine Produktion von Hinterglasbildern, von denen nur die bekannt sind, die ihren Weg in den Westen fanden. Nach dem Ende des Exports um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts war diese dekorative Kunst in China weiterhin popul�r, doch von den vielen zerbrechlichen Bildern in chinesischen Haushalten �berlebten nur wenige die Kriegswirren und Notzeiten des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts, sodass die Hinterglasmalerei in China in Vergessenheit geriet. Es gibt keine Sammlungen in Museen und nur sehr wenige Privatsammler. Die erste Monografie im Westen pr�sentiert nun die Sch�nheit dieser traditionsreichen Kunst in allen Facetten.

About this title

Synopsis

A fragile form, offering great beauty and variety, reverse glass painting has fallen into oblivion in China, with no collections in museums and very few private collectors. Yet this decorative art enjoyed great popularity among collectors and in Chinese households in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In Bolihua, Rupprecht Mayer revives this lost genre of Chinese art, presenting more than a hundred Chinese reverse glass paintings from a private collection in southern Germany. The first illustrated book in the West on this unique art form, this volume explores traditional motifs of happiness, scenes of plays and novels, landscapes, and the changing image of the Chinese woman.

About the Author

Rupprecht Mayer is a sinologist, gallerist, and translator who lives and works in Burghausen, Germany.
