Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st. Pictorial boards, xii, 291 pages, illustrations (some colour); 26 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "The growth of Shanghai in the late nineteenth century gave rise to an exciting new art world in which a flourishing market in popular art became a highly visible part of the treaty port's commercialized culture. This book examines the relationship between the city's visual artists and their urban audiences. Through a discussion of images ranging from fashionable painted fans to lithograph-illustrated magazines, the book explores how popular art intersected with broader cultural trends. It also investigates the multiple roles played by the modern Chinese artist as image-maker, entrepreneur, celebrity and urban sojourner. Focusing on industrially produced images, mass advertisements and other hitherto neglected sources, the book offers a new interpretation of late Qing visual culture at a watershed moment in the history of modern Chinese art. The book will be of interest to scholars of art history and to anyone with an interest in the cultural history of modern China." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The Shanghai painted fan: form, format, and function; The Shanghai artist in advertising and mass media; Shanghai illustrations: images and readers; Picturing the Shanghai artist: subjects and audiences.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 144 pages : illustrations, colour maps ; 30 x 25 cm. Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name co-organized by the Asia Society Galleries, New York, and the Hong Kong Arts Centre. 'Picturing Hong Kong brings together an extraordinary collection of 61 photographs of this unique city. These images shed new light on Hong Kong's hybrid culture, fully exploring for the first time Britain's use of photography in promoting its self-image as a civilizing force in Asia. Three essays set the stage for these photographs. The first, A Brief History of Hong Kong to 1910 by Joanna Waley-Cohen, surveys the colony's formative years and documents the political and cultural tensions created by attempts to straddle Eastern and Western traditions. Another essay by Roberta Wue, Picturing Hong Kong: Photography through Practice and Function, looks at the politics of representation as they are played out in images made for foreign viewers and those made for a local Chinese audience. In Edwin K. Lai's The Beginnings of Hong Kong Photography, the origins of commercial photography are reconstructed from newspaper advertisements, diary entries, and other contemporary documents.'.…
