About this title

Synopsis

Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena, Calif., Pacific Asia Museum Monographs, No. 1 [Published Date: 1989]. Paper covers, 129 pp : 10 illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm. This volume presents a major English language edition of Shih-t'aos seminal treatise Hua-yu lu, one of the most influential works of art theory in Chinese intellectual history. Written by the 17th-century painter-monk Shih-t'ao (1642 - 1707), the text explores the philosophical foundations of artistic creation, challenging orthodox models of painting and promoting an expressive, intuitive engagement with brushwork and form. Translator Richard Strassberg (UCLA) provides a thoughtful introduction and contextual notes. Published as the inaugural volume in the Pacific Asia Museum Monograph Series. [From Foreword] Enlightening Remarks on Painting was chosen as the subject of the first monograph because of its importance in Chinese art history and because of the extraordinary influence it continues to exert on contemporary Chinese painters. As a painter and as a theoretician, Shih-t’ao helped to forge a new aesthetic in Chinese painting by emphasizing the personal, subjective aspects of the creative act. The profound resonance of his ideas and his art with contemporary Chinese and Western sensibilities makes Enlightening Remarks on Painting a document of critical importance.
