Chinese Paintings from the Shanghai Museum, 1851-1911
註釋In the 19th century Shanghai was a prosperous center of trade with the West, and external influences combined with established cultural traditions to ensure that a lively artistic scene developed. This book is a rare opportunity to discover some of the exquisite paintings from the Shanghai Museum. Superb color illustrations accompany entries on individual artists. Many of the paintings represented were created for the home market rather than for export and reveal diverse and unusual views of China. The versatility and beauty of styles and composition provide a unique view into the cultural life of the city, making this book one to treasure. (National Museums of Scotland)
