Articoli correlati a Art & Imitation in China
Art and Imitation in China is an ambitious odyssey covering Chinese art over a 3,500 year period, from the Shang dynasty (ca.1600-1100 BC) to the present day. 'Imitation' has several meanings here, from emulation, in the noblest sense, to venal deception. The three themes of the exhibition are 'archaism', which pays tribute to the past through recreating objects and styles of antiquity; 'trans-cultural influence', where foreign idioms, shapes and designs were adopted for reasons of religion, novelty, trade or, in contemporary art, as social and political commentary; the last is 'inter-media exchange' or the imitation of works of art in a different medium than the prototypes they emulate, usually to display innovations in craftsmanship. In many instances, the works of art in this catalogue embody at least two of these concepts.

Descrizione libro Hard bound. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: new. First Edition. Catalogue of a new and innovative exhibition held at the University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong and curated by Anthony Lin. The grand array of some 216 lots, all illustrated in the present catalogue in full colour, addresses the theme of imitation in Chinese art from three angles. Commencing with a foundation section of antiquity and classicism, the exhibition explores three forms of imitation, including archaism, inter-media exchange and trans-cultural influences. Objects presented range from the neolithic period to the present era, spanning some 5,000 years of China's artistic heritage, and include some of the finest examples of their genre drawn primarily from private collections in the region. The objects also represent a dazzling array of media, from bronze, ceramics and jades, to lacquer, stone sculpture, glass, cloisonne, wood, textile and works on paper and canvas. With accompanying essays by George Fan, Mayching Kao, Rosemary Scott, Paul Surfaty and Julian Thompson. Essays, captions and descriptions of objects in English, essays and captions in Chinese. 349 pp., over 320 colour and 14 b&w plates.
