Beskrivning

Subject of this book is the social and cultural history of Chinese art collecting during the early years of Mongol rule in China (the Yuan dynasty, 1276-1368).At the core of Weitz’s book is a complete translation of the Record of Clouds and Mist Passing Before One’s Eyes (Yunyan guoyan lu), an art catalog written by the Song dynasty loyalist Zhou Mi (1232-1298). This text contains detailed records of more than forty private art collections that the author saw in Hangzhou between 1275 and 1296.The careful annotations, scholarly introduction, and well-researched appendices help to broaden our understanding of the early care and transmission of artworks, the social dimensions of art collecting, and the development of a multi-ethnic society in Yuan China.

Recensioner i media

"...a stimulating and well-documented discussion of art collecting in late-thirteenth century China." – Julia K. Murray, in: CAA Reviews (2004)"In this authoritative and amply explicated version, Zhou Mi’s Record of Clouds and Mist suggests many ideas for further inquiry and lends itself to a range of historical studies. Weitz’s own thought-provoking discussion of its bearing on collecting and the art market, of social and economic history, should be the first of many." – Susan E. Nelson, in: Artibus Asiae (2004)"…Weitz’s book engages us in a new view of collecting culture in the artistic and social contexts of thirteenth-century China… This pubication solidly advances modern scholaship on the course of Chinese art and painting." – Diana Yeongchau Chou, in: Journal of the American Oriental Society (2003)
