Poetic paintings - works done in response to lyric poems, or else as pictorial equivalents to them - compose a major category of East Asian art. In this illustrated book James Cahill looks at three exemplary traditions in this genre, works from three very different times and places, ringing new understanding of the paintings and of the relationship between the art and the societies that produced it. Creating paintings with poetic resonances, somtimes with ties to specific lines of poetry, is a practice that began in China in the 11th century, the Northern Song period. Cahill vividly surveys its first great flowering among artists working in the Southern Song capital of Hangzhou, probably the largest and certainly the richest city on Earth in this era. He shows us the revival of poetic painting by late Ming artists working in the prosperous city of Suzhou. And we learn how artists in Edo-period Japan, notably the 18th-century Nanga masters and the painter and haiku poet Yosa Buson, transformed the style into a uniquely Japanese vehicle of expression. In all cases, Cahill shows, poetic painting flourished in crowded urban environments; it accompanied an outpouring of poetry celebrating the pastoral, escape from the city, immersion in nature. An ideal of the return to a life close to nature - the "lyric journey" - underlies many of the finest paintings of China and Japan, and offers a key for understanding them.

[Cahill] disturbs common assumptions and establishes unexpected connections in painting history, directs attention to unjustly neglected works and raises numerous issues well worth debating. -- Tony Howes "China Review"
