By Wen C. Fong, Chin-Sung Chang & Maxwell K. Hearn.
Published in New York by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2008.

DISCUSSION: This comprehensive study of the painter is the first
publication in English and accompanies The Metropolitan Museum of Art's
exhibition Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632-1717).
Wang Hui, the most celebrated painter of late seventeenth-century China,
played a key role in both reinvigorating past traditions of landscape
painting and in establishing the stylistic foundations for imperially
sponsored art of the Qing court. Drawing upon his extraordinary talent and
immense ambition, Wan developed an all-embracing synthesis of historical
landscape styles that soon became one of the greatest artistic innovations
of late imperial China. Wan Hui's genius lay in "repossessing the past"
while making works that were distinctly his own. He has been unrivaled
since.

white illustrations, dust jacket.
