It also revives the classical Chinese genre of cultural writing called 'brush notes, ' by which Kuo's commentaries link the historical excerpts but do not over-determine their meanings. The result, which combines fluid translations and transcriptions of classical Chinese texts alongside original artworks, is a sort of exhibition tour, in which Kuo enables readers to have a direct conversation with the past as much as with him.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Michael J.

It concisely introduces a diverse range of artists-spanning almost one thousand years-and provides rich context by drawing on contemporaneous literature. Generously illustrated, it is a welcome contribution that will support the development of a more international perspective on the idea of late artistic style.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Peter L.

The book is a major contribution to the current debates in art history and literary studies on late and old-age style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Hanwei Wang, Professor of Art History, Nanjing Normal University; author of Studies on the Calligraphy of Dunhuang Documents in the Southern Dynasties\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46399586566295,"sku":"9798987589359","price":8874.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798987589359.webp?v=1769049058","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-chinese-artist-grows-old-aging-and-creativity-9798987589359","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
