Item Number: 136754 Title: Qing Encounters: Artistic Exchanges between China and the West Author: ten-Doesschate Chu, Petra ; Ning Ding (eds) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781606064573 Description: Los Angeles: Getty Publications, 2015. 26cm., pbk., 320pp., 68 color, 45 b&w illus. Summary: Qing Encounters: Artistic Exchanges between China and the West examines how the contact between China and Europe in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries transformed the arts on both sides of the East West divide. The essays in the volume reveal the extent to which images, artifacts, and natural specimens were traded and copied, and how these materials inflected both cultures’ visions of novelty and pleasure, battle and power, and ways of seeing and representing. Artists and craftspeople on both continents borrowed and adapted forms, techniques, and modes of representation, producing deliberate, meaningful, and complex new creations. By considering this reciprocity from both Eastern and Western perspectives, Qing Encounters offers a new and nuanced understanding of this critical period.
