Beskrivelse
Culture in Common explores the transnational history of traditionalist art in modern East Asia through a contextualist account of a Chinese artist's engagement with Japan. Crossing national and disciplinary divides, Walter Davis illuminates how Wang Yiting (1867-1938) mediated Sino-Japanese cooperation in fields to which he contributed importantly--art, business, philanthropy, and religion--adapting traditional forms of expression to projects and concerns of a modern, international milieu.
Grounded in the Japanese archive, Culture in Common expands our understanding of Wang Yiting's oeuvre and artistic practices, reveals origins, accomplishments, promises, and limitations of the cross-cultural exchanges he espoused in an era of increasing international tensions, and draws attention to the historical importance and shifting historiographical fortunes of twentieth-century Sino-Japanese visual culture.
