Tradition and Transformation: Cataloguing Chinese Art in the Middle and Late Imperial Eras Abstract After obtaining sovereignty, a new emperor of China often gathers the imperial collections of previous dynasties and uses them as evidence of the legitimacy of the new regime. Some emperors go further, commissioning the compilation projects of bibliographies of books and catalogues of artistic works in their imperial collections not only as inventories but also for proclaiming their imperial power. The imperial collections of art symbolize political and cultural predominance, present contemporary attitudes toward art and connoisseurship, and reflect emperors’ personal taste for art. The attempt of this research project is to explore the practice of art cataloguing during two of the most important reign periods in imperial China: Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (r. 1101-1125) and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (r. 1736-1795). Through examining the format and content of the selected painting, calligraphy, and bronze catalogues compiled by both emperors, features of each catalogue reveal the development of cataloguing imperial artistic collections. -

Characteristics and Spirit of Chinese Paintings Au Ho-Nien (Translated by Phylis Lan Lin) Lecture Presented at the University of Indianapolis on August 25, 2004
The Characteristics and Spirit of Chinese Paintings Au Ho-Nien (Translated by Phylis Lan Lin) Lecture Presented at the University of Indianapolis on August 25, 2004 There are roughly two cultural systems in the world: the East system and the West system. The West system is currently a mainstream system. The East system usually refers to the Far East, mainly China. China was one of the four ancient civilized countries; its culture has experienced five thousand years of development and has exerted great influence on the cultures of neighboring Asian countries since ancient times. Fine art, as an important part of Chinese culture, started its brilliant history five thousand years ago along the Yellow River basin and gradually extended its development to the Yangtze River areas. Chinese painting is a system with unique characteristics and spirit. Chinese people have long painted with brushes. In the earliest days of painting, they painted on tomb walls with paint, ash, ink, and pigment. Later, they painted on silk cloth and paper; Nu Shi Zhen Tu (pictures serving as adages for women living in the royal palace), one of the earliest Chinese paintings drawn by Gu Kaizhi from the East Jin Dynasty, was drawn on silk cloth. This painting is now in the collection of the British Museum. More Chinese paintings on silk cloth and paper from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties can be found in museums around the world, especially the Taipei National Palace Museum, a bonanza of Chinese fine arts. Chinese paintings have acquired different characteristics after many generations of development. -

It has taken NanHai and exhibiting artists more than one year to prepare for this exhibition, not to mention the energy and cost involved in international communication and logistics. Why did we spend so much time and effort to present Liu Kuo-sung? It can be traced back to when NanHai underwent the soul-searching process to reconfirm its mission. At that time, the first name that came to my mind was Liu Kuo-sung. As one of the earliest and most important advocates and practitioners of modernist Chinese painting, Liu has perfectly transcended Eastern and Western, tradition and modernity, established a new tradition of Chinese ink painting and successfully brought it to the center of the international art scene. Liu’s groundbreaking body of work best echoes NanHai’s commitment to present artworks that reflect the unique aesthetics of Chinese art while transcending cultural and artistic boundaries with a contemporary sensibility. -
THE FOLK-INDIVIDUALIST ARTIST in 1970S TAIWAN: HUNG TUNG (1920-87) and HIS ART by CRYSTAL HUI-SHU YANG Under the Direction of Bo
THE FOLK-INDIVIDUALIST ARTIST IN 1970S TAIWAN: HUNG TUNG (1920-87) AND HIS ART by CRYSTAL HUI-SHU YANG Under the Direction of Bonnie Cramond and Carole Henry ABSTRACT This interdisciplinary study explores the relation between intuition and art through a case study of Taiwanese self-taught painter Hung Tung (1920-1987) and the controversy his art caused in 1970s Taiwan. There were two turning points in this illiterate rural man’s life. At age of 50 (in 1969), Hung suddenly plunged himself into maniacal art creation, and his fame reached the top during the Hung Tung exhibition of 1976. These two turning points resulted in the legend of Hung Tung. An intuitive feeling is hard to verbalize, and intuitive art is ineffable. In order to understand Hung’s intuitive approach in art, the unconscious human mind (wherein the infinite creative potentials are hidden and intuitive cognition works involuntarily) is examined. As an amateur and untrained spirit medium, Hung revealed his hallucinatory and shamanistic visions in his paintings. In trance, Hung was able to access the forgotten, collective memories from time immemorial. The analysis of Hung’s paintings involves the subjects of Chinese ancient pictographs, Taoism, Taoist art, talisman, folk art, spirit-mediumship, shamanism, creativity, abstract thinking, hallucination, mythology, the art of children, primitive art, expressionist art, and abstract art. Usually, self-taught artists are inspired by religions or indigenous cultures, and driven by inner impulses to create art. They gather objects from their living environment, then manipulate and transform them into art works with personal touches—as they pick up subjects from their daily lives, internalize them, and turn out individual styles. -

We can detect some influence of the European painters René Magritte, Paul Klee or Jean Dubuffet on him. This artist, who is also a poet, shows great sensitivity to the written word: he tries to play in an inventive way with the association of writing and picture, which is so natural in Chinese culture. -

The art of subsequent dynasties consists primarily of variations and elaborations upon these classic forms. The vast majority of traditional visual art across the world is primarily concerned with figures. Chinese painting employs shifting perspective , in which the sizes and positions of objects are freely modified according to aesthetic objectives, rather than being constrained by the mathematical laws of the physical world. Nonetheless, ancient visual art confirms that the essential style of palace architecture had also emerged by the late ancient period. The main subject of a landscape painting is the natural environment ; figures are either absent or of minor prominence. Today only!

The theme for the Fourth China Fine Art-Chang’an Forum in Xi’An invites the participants to focus on the spirit of the Han Dynasty (206 BC and 220 AD) and the Tang Dynasty 9618-907 AD). Each of these dynasties is remembered for the major advancements in their respective cultures. For example, Han civilization, grounded in Confucian education and a desire to bring national unification to China, embraced a global vision being confident that China was the cultural center of the world. The Tang dynasty is described as “a time of unprecedented material prosperity, of institutional growth, of new departures in thought and religion, of creativity in all the arts.”1 Hence, the invitation extended by this conference, “China Fine Arts – Chang’an Forum 2014,” as I understood it invites us to both celebrate the achievements of these two high moments in China’s cultural history, Han and Tang dynasties, while at the same time reflecting on the continuation of important cultural achievements in the present.
