By means of a series of six closely-focused case studies, often deliberately introducing non-canonical or previously marginalized aspects of Chinese visual culture, it analyzes Chinese art's encounter with the broader world, and in particular with the West. Offering more than a simple charting of influences, it uncovers a pattern of richly mutual interchange between Chinese art and its others. Arguing that we cannot fully understand modern Chinese art without taking this expanded global context into account, it attempts to break down barriers between areas of art history which have hitherto largely been treated within separate and often nationally-conceived frames. Aware that issues of cultural difference need to be addressed by art historians as much as by artists, it represents a pioneering attempt to produce an art historical writing which is truly global in approach. It hopes to appeal both to those with a special interest in modern Chinese art and those who are only now becoming aware of this fascinating but previously under-explored field. 606 $aArt, Chinese 606 $aArt$zChina$xHistory 606 $aEast and West$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArt, Chinese. 615 0$aArt$xHistory. 615 0$aEast and West$xHistory. 676 $a709.51 700 $aClarke$b David$0548865 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461583903321 996 $aChinese art and its encounter with the world$92484143 997 $aUNINA
