Sturman, Chair Professor Miriam Wattles Professor Hui-shu Lee December 2016 The dissertation of Seokwon Choi is approved. _____________________________________________ Miriam Wattles _____________________________________________ Hui-shu Lee _____________________________________________ Peter C. Sturman, Committee Chair September 2016 Fashioning the Reclusive Persona: Zeng Jing’s Informal Portraits of the Jiangnan Literati Copyright © 2016 by Seokwon Choi iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My sincerest gratitude goes to my advisor, Professor Peter C. Sturman, whose guidance, patience, and confidence in me have made my doctoral journey not only possible but also enjoyable. It is thanks to him that I was able to transcend the difficulties of academic work and find pleasure in reading, writing, painting, and calligraphy. As a role model, Professor Sturman taught me how to be an artful recluse like the Jiangnan literati. I am also greatly appreciative for the encouragement and counsel of Professor Hui-shu Lee. Without her valuable suggestions from its earliest stage, this project would never have taken shape. I would like to express appreciation to Professor Miriam Wattles for insightful comments and thought-provoking discussions that helped me to consider the issues of portraiture in a broader East Asian context. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Susan Tai, Elizabeth Atkins Curator of Asian Art at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. She was my Santa Barbara mother, and she helped made my eight-year sojourn in the American Riviera one that I will cherish forever.

  • Style As Substance: Literary Ink Painting and Buddhist Practice in Late Ming Dynasty China
    chapter 12 Style as Substance: Literary Ink Painting and Buddhist Practice in Late Ming Dynasty China Kathleen M. Ryor Many scholars of religion have studied the so-called Buddhist revival of the late Ming dynasty in China (mid-sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century) and have examined in great depth the syncretic nature of Buddhist doctrine and practice at this time. Correspondingly, art historians have noted a parallel re- surgence in Buddhist figure painting by artists who also made a name for them- selves depicting secular subjects. They have made a distinction in late Ming art between Buddhist paintings done often by anonymous artists for temples and monasteries, and scrolls executed by well-known artists, who were either themselves members of the literati or were patronized by this educated elite stratum of Chinese society. While art historians have noted this renewed inter- est in Buddhist figure painting among literati and literati-style painters starting around the last half of the sixteenth century, few have investigated the specific contexts for its production. With some exceptions in recent years, they have also tended to study these works in isolation from the artists’ personal reli- gious practices and beliefs.1 In contrast to paintings and sculptures in temples, the production of Buddhist ink paintings reflects what could be termed an en- vironment of domestic devotion, as both the execution and viewing of such works took place in the private realm of the home rather than the more public space of the temple. This essay will also investigate the ways in which artists’ doctrinal affinities influenced the subject and style of their Buddhist paintings.

  • Huang Binhong (1865-1955) and Artistic Continuity in Twentieth Century China
    The Dark Side of the Mountain: Huang Binhong (1865-1955) and artistic continuity in twentieth century China Claire Roberts A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University 2005 1 Declaration This thesis is my own original work Claire Roberts 2 Abstract This thesis is an interpretive study of the life and art of Huang Binhong (1865-1955). It uses empirical and textual analysis to examine the landscape paintings of Huang Binhong in particular and places them within the historical context of a period of unprecedented political and social change in China. The thesis explores the background to Huang Binhong’s creative practice and the development of his artistic style and vision. It investigates Huang’s training as a Confucian scholar and his multiple identities as painter, art historian, art editor, teacher, collector and connoisseur. The first two chapters place Huang within the cultural milieu of the Lower Yangtze Valley and his ancestral home in Anhui, noting the influence of Xin’an artists and examining paintings of Huangshan; Chapters Three and Four examine Huang Binhong’s working life and milieu in Shanghai, his art historical writings and his work to authenticate paintings in the collection of the Palace Museum, and considers the influence of his work as editor and scholar on his artistic practice. Chapter Five follows Huang’s travels to Guangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Sichuan, exploring the effect of contact with different landscapes on the evolution of his artistic style. Chapters Six and Seven locate him in Beiping during the Japanese occupation, a period of artistic reflection and experimentation in which the artist’s interest in “darkness” intensified.

  • The Role of Japan in Modern Chinese Art Edited by Joshua A
    The Role of Japan in Modern Chinese Art Edited by Joshua A. Fogel Published in association with the University of California Press “This ambitious, very important project defines no less than a new field of inquiry, one that scarcely could have been attempted in the past. The essays in this volume add enor- mously to the documentation of what late-period Chinese art learned from Japan, and begin to formulate conclu- sions that will enrich future accounts of both Japanese and Chinese art.” JAMES CAHILL, University of California, Berkeley The modern histories of China and Japan are inexorably intertwined. Their relationship is perhaps most obvious in the fields of political, economic, and military history, but it is no less true in cultural and art history. Yet the traffic in artistic practices and practitioners between China and Japan remains an understudied field. In this volume, an international group of scholars investigates Japan’s impact on Chinese art from the mid-nineteenth cen- tury through the 1930s. Individual essays address a range of perspectives, including the work of individual Chinese and Japanese painters, calligraphers, and sculptors, as well as artistic associations, international exhibitions, the collotype production or artwork, and the emergence of a modern canon. JOSHUA A. FOGEL is Canada Research Chair and a professor of history at York University, Toron - to, and a specialist in the history of cultural and political ties between China and Japan in the mod - ern era.
