Description
"The present book intends to examine the place of Chinese Modern and Contemporary art, the emergence and development of China's avant-garde and their expanses worldwide, the display and representation of Chinese art in the West, and the issues related with cultural appropriation, artistic interaction, geographical delimitation, rejection of cultural tradition, and intervention as a means of artistic expression, and cultural distinctiveness related with artistic creation. For this purpose, this volume includes a selection of papers recommended by a committee of scholars as well as papers authored by other prominent scholars invited to collaborate in this project. The papers in this book are divided in two sections covering two chronological periods: 19th century and Modern art; and Contemporary art, starting soon after the end of the Cultural Revolution. This book offers some starting points for the study of the arts in China and its aesthetic expanses throughout the world during the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century. Whereas some of the papers move towards the display of Chinese modern and contemporary art in Europe and US; the emergence and development of marketplace for the international commercialization of Chinese painting during the Republican period; and the interactions between Western advertising and graphic design, and Chinese propaganda visual culture; others are more grounded to mutual influence of philosophical and conceptual content; to the recontextualization of Chinese tradition and cultural environment; to the interplay between art, politics and intervention; and finally to the formation of Chinese avant-garde and their artistic expression by different kinds of media such as performance, photography, installation and film, unusual in the history of Chinese art scene"--Amazon.com.
