  • Seeing and Transcending Tradition in Chen Shuren's Guilin Landscape
    Seeing and Transcending Tradition in Chen Shuren’s Guilin Landscape Album by Meining Wang A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History of Art, Design and Visual Culture Department of Art and Design University of Alberta ©Meining Wang, 2019 Abstract In 1931, the Chinese Lingnan school painter and modern Chinese politician Chen Shuren 陈树人 (1884-1948) went on a political retreat trip to Guilin, Guangxi China. During his trip in Guilin, Chen Shuren did a series of paintings and sketches based on the real scenic site of Guilin. In 1932, Chen’s paintings on Guilin were published into a painting album named Guilin shanshui xieshengji 桂林山水写生集 (The Charms of Kwei-Lin) by the Shanghai Heping Publishing House. By discussing how Chen Shuren’s album related with the past Chinese painting and cultural tradition in the modern context, I interpret it as a phenomenon that unified various Chinese painting concepts in modern Chinese history. I argue that by connecting the landscape of Guilin with a past Chinese cultural tradition and foreshowing a modern aesthetic taste, Chen Shuren merged Guilin into the 20th century Chinese cultural landscape. ii Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been completed without enormous help and encouragement from various aspects. I am grateful to Professor Walter Davis, for always patiently instructing me and being an excellent academic model for me. Not only in the academic sense, his passion and preciseness in art history also taught me knowledge about life. I am also very thankful for Professor Betsy Boone’s instruction, her intellectual approach always inspired me to move in new directions when my research was stuck.

  • A Study of Paintings of Beautiful Woman by Selected Guangdong Artists in the Early Twentieth Century
    ASIAN ART ESSAY PRIZE 2013 A Study of Paintings of Beautiful Woman by Selected Guangdong Artists in the Early Twentieth Century Leung Ge Yau (Candy) 2000980901 In response to the growing popularity of the western style paintings and the paintings of the Lingnan School which were considered to have been derived from Japanese paintings, fourteen artists formed an organization called Gui hai he zou hua she 癸亥合作畫社 (Gui Hai Painting Cooperative) in Guangzhou in 1923 with the primary aim of safeguarding the traditional style of Chinese painting.1 More artists joined this group in 1925 and the organization was renamed as Guangdong guohua yanjiu hui 廣東國畫研究會 (Guangdong National Painting Research Society) (“the Society”).2 Although the focus of most studies on Chinese art for the 20s and the 30s of the twentieth century had been placed on the artists of the Lingnan School, I believe the artists of the Society should not be neglected as they formed a strong opposition force against the Lingnan School and had significant impact on the art scene of Guangdong during that period of time. While this group of Guangdong artists continued to make paintings in the traditional genres of landscape and flowers and birds, my investigation indicates that the genre of meiren “美人” (beautiful woman) was also popular amongst them. Moreover, I will show how these artists had consulted the painting manuals and had looked at the works of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) artist, Hua Yan 華嵒 (1682-1756) for inspiration. In this essay, I will study the meiren paintings of three core members of the Society, namely, Li Fenggong 李鳳公 (1884-1967), Huang Shaomei 黃少梅 (1886-1940) and Huang Junbi 黃君壁 (1898-1991) and why they still found the genre of meiren appealing.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: LEARNING NEW PAINTING FROM
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: LEARNING NEW PAINTING FROM JAPAN AND MAINTAINING NATIONAL PRIDE IN EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY CHINA, WITH FOCUS ON CHEN SHIZENG (1876–1923) Kuo-Sheng Lai, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jason C. Kuo Department of Art History and Archaeology In the early twentieth century, many Chinese painters went to Japan to study. This dissertation argues that, despite learning from Japan, these artists sought to create a better future for Chinese painting. They did not desire to create a single kind of “Eastern painting” with their Japanese counterparts. The Chinese had long claimed a kind of cultural superiority, called Sino-centrism, which did not diminish in the early twentieth century. The Japanese, however, developed a kind of thinking termed pan-Asianism, in which Asia was considered a unity, and Japan, its leader. Because of this difference, the similarities between Chinese art and Japanese art in the early twentieth century cannot be interpreted as the emergence of an “Asian art” because the Chinese did not endorse Japanese pan-Asianism. Li Shutong was one of the first Chinese painters to visit Japan to learn Western-style painting. Gao Jianfu, founder of the Lingnan School, went to Japan to learn painting and returned with the style known as Nihonga, a synthesis of traditional Japanese painting and Western-style painting. Chen Shizeng was a traditional painter of the scholar class. He also went to Japan to study. But he studied natural history, not painting. Chen Shizeng was most active during the May Fourth Movement of the late 1910s and early 1920s, when radicals wanted to abandon traditional Chinese culture.

  • The Scientific Gaze and Ink Painting in Modern China
    Beggars, Black Bears, and Butterflies: The Scientific Gaze and Ink Painting in Modern China Lisa Claypool, University of Alberta Abstract The ink brushes of the painters Chen Shizeng (1876–1923), Liu Kuiling (1885–1967), and Gao Jianfu (1879–1951) were employed as tools of the nation in early twentieth-century China. Yet the expression of a radical idealism about the new republic in their ink paintings was tempered early on by a tentative and self-conscious exploration of new ways of seeing. By synthesizing a “universal” scientific gaze with their idiosyncratically trained vision as artists, they created pictures that encouraged their viewers to cross the boundaries and binaries that would come to define the discourse about guohua, or “national painting”: East versus West, oil versus ink, modernity versus tradition, painting versus graphic arts, and elite versus folk. This article explores that extended moment of synthesis and experimentation. It argues that it was through the scientific gaze of these brush-and-ink artists that idealism and learning came to cooperate, and through their paintings that possibilities for news ways of seeing the nation emerged. Keywords: scientific gaze, modern Chinese painting, Chen Shizeng, Gao Jianfu, Liu Kuiling In 1919, Cai Yuanpei (1868–1940), chancellor of Peking University (1917–1926) during its most vibrant period as a revolutionary cultural force, presented a lecture in which he proposed that the relationship between science and art was one that tracked culturally: China’s art, like its literature, philosophy, or studies of morality, he averred, depended on the copy, whereas “Western art” relied scientifically on firsthand observation of objects in the flesh.
