Interview with Ming Scholars
This is obviously something I’ve often been asked, so I wish I had a better answer. My education at school was focused on languages — including ancient ones — and history, and at some point in my t
China in Britain
This chapter looks at some changes in the presentation of material from China in the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, two institutions directly patronised and supported by the British state. Chinese objects came to the British Museum in the founding bequest of Sir Hans Sloane in 1753, and appear at first to have been included under the rubric of ‘Ethnography’. London’s other major institutional collection, the South Ke…

The Politics of Inscription in Modern Chinese Art
What is the politics of inscription?' is a question posed over twenty years ago by W. J. T Mitchell, and the long history of text-image reciprocity in western picture making continues to be a rich area of research. 1This should by rights be a live question in the study of Chinese art too, especially as a particular relationship between text and image has often been seen as one of the distinctive characteristics of Chinese art.Many pre-modern work…
Chinese Painting and Its Audiences
Connected Material Histories
In giving the very first lecture that first-year History of Art undergraduates at Oxford will hear, I usually employ the practice of giving them a sheet of paper with nothing on it but the outlines of the land masses of the globe, and ask them to draw a line round ‘the West’. The idea was inspired by a reading of Lewis and Wigen's 1997 book The Myth of Continents (‘justly celebrated’, as Sanjay Subrahmanyam says), and remains a useful pedagogic a…
Things in Between
There is plenty of evidence that, during the Ming dynasty in China, the enjoyment of the fruits of commerce was not so frowned upon as the texts of orthodox morality and political economy might imply. The enormous quantities of surviving Ming material culture, which are continuously being augmented by archaeology (since people were buried with goods for use in the afterlife), range from secular and religious buildings, the paintings and calligrap…

Reading Wen Zhengming
Empire of Great Brightness
Empire of Great Brightness is an innovative and accessible history of a high point in Chinese culture, seen through the riches of its images and objects. Not a simple emperor-by-emperor history, it instead introduces the reader to themes that provide stimulating and original points of entry to the culture of China: to ideas of motion and rest; to the position occupied by writing and objects featuring writing; and, to ideas about pleasure, about v…

Le Xiushilu (Archives de la laque) est un texte chinois de la periode Ming tardive (1368-1644) qui apparemment presente des descriptions techniques en vue de la fabrication d'une gamme d'objets de luxe en bois laque. On l'etudie ici pour ses rapports avec les croyances cosmologiques des classes eduquees, croyances qui peuvent etre productrices de connaissances dans une grande variete de domaines. L'argument de l'auteur est que ce texte n'est pas …
Fruitful Sites
Gardens are sites that can be at one and the same time admired works of art and valuable pieces of real estate. As the first account in English to be wholly based on contemporary Chinese sources, this beautifully illustrated book grounds the practices of garden-making in Ming Dynasty China (1369–1644) firmly in the social and cultural history of the day. Who owned gardens? Who visited them? How were they represented in words, in paintings and in …

Superfluous Things
Now in paperback This outstanding and original book, presented here with a new preface, examines the history of material culture in early modern China. Craig Clunas analyzes “superfluous things”—the paintings, calligraphy, bronzes, ceramics, carved jade, and other objects owned by the elites of Ming China—and describes contemporary attitudes to them. He informs his discussions with reference to both socio-cultural theory and current debates on ei…
Chinese Art and Chinese Artists in France (1924-1925)
La communauté des artistes chinois en France, dans les années 20, se divisait en deux petits groupes : l'Association des Artistes chinois en France et la Société chinoise des Arts décoratifs à Paris. Malgré la participation de jeunes artistes, qui connurent plus tard la célébrité, comme Xu Beihong (1896- 1953 ) et Lin Fengmian ( né en 1900 ) , la participation de ces deux sociétés dans deux expositions organisées dans les années 1924 et 1925 n'eu…
