Book Description
This volume is comprised primarily of the contents of Chinese-art.com, an online magazine started in 1997 and brings together images, essays, interviews, rountable discussions, eyewitness accounts and biographies published on the web in 2000. It's timely and diverse "insider" views are those of Chinese art critics living and working in China, but also include scholars outside the China context. To such a broad and diverse compilation of material, professor Wu Hung brings both an "insider" point of view and an international sensibility. His careful editing and organization of the material, along with the six introductory essays he wrote for this volume, make the book understandable and enjoyable to both the art scholar and the art enthusiast.
