The Modernist Response to Chinese Art
Author: Zhaoming Qian
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 9780813921761
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The Modernist Response to Chinese Art is a work of both erudition and sympathy that reveals the root of modernist poets' otherwise baffling interest in and use of Chinese art. Most impressive, perhaps, is the depth of their embrace of it, as Qian has so convincingly documented. --Patricia C. Williams.
