[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632-1717)”

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.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 10"x12.5", 543 pages, 121 color and 618 black & 
white illustrations, dust jacket.
