Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China is not simply a survey of sixteenth-century images, but rather, a thorough and thoughtful examination of visual culture in China's Ming Dynasty, one that considers images wherever they appeared—not only paintings, but also illustrated books, maps, ceramic bowls, lacquered boxes, painted fans, and even clothing and tomb pictures.
Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China is not simply a survey of sixteenth-century images, but rather, a thorough and thoughtful examination of visual culture in China's Ming Dynasty, one that considers images wherever they appeared—not only paintings, but also illustrated books, maps, ceramic bowls, lacquered boxes, painted fans, and even clothing and tomb pictures.
Clunas's theory of visuality incorporates not only the image and the object upon which it is placed but also the culture which produced and purchased it. Economic changes in sixteenth-century China—the rapid expansion of trade routes and a growing class of consumers—are thus intricately bound up with the evolution of the image itself. Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China will be a touchstone for students of Chinese history, art, and culture.

《早期现代中国的图像与视觉性》（Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China，下文简称《视觉性》）一书虽早自1997年便问世，不过新近中文译本之出版却丝毫无减其引领中国近世视觉文化研究的先锋理念。于柯律格（Craig Clunas）而言，这本章节内容看似纷杂、内里却一脉相...

纯美术史，绘画史看多了，有时免不了障目。Craig Clunas通过图像学的角度来阐释明朝艺术之大环境，且不说史料的丰富，单就这个角度也是让后来做艺术史的人有所启发。Richard Vinogard 在“stones from Other Mountains: Chinese Painting Studies in Postwar America"一文中就...

This book address some basic questions about Chinese visual arts. A basic proposition is that from 1400-1700 there was a transition in painting and other visual arts from referential to self-referential, e.g. from mimesis to symbolic. This book defies sim...

讲三才图会那一节，尤其是“地”那一节和上学期写早期中国地图的东西都串上了，感觉很高兴。全书结论里面关于图(picture)与画(painting)的complementary bipolarity（这词是引用浦安迪的说法）关系很有启发。

由此书起，柯律格不再立足于某一个特定的材料或者特定的艺术家来看明代，而是撒下一张巨大的网，经纬纵横穿插于多种媒材，多个阶层，多种观看模式和多种话语之间。如此之野心需要一个精心设计的结构或者是坚实的理论，甚至是一种信念在背后作为支持。由一种后见之明看来，这种对明代的复杂性的看法是显而易见的，一种fine art的确立必然是一种垄断性话语和实践的构建的产物，而由此，艺术史则进入了视觉文化和物质文化研究... 由此书起，柯律格不再立足于某一个特定的材料或者特定的艺术家来看明代，而是撒下一张巨大的网，经纬纵横穿插于多种媒材，多个阶层，多种观看模式和多种话语之间。如此之野心需要一个精心设计的结构或者是坚实的理论，甚至是一种信念在背后作为支持。由一种后见之明看来，这种对明代的复杂性的看法是显而易见的，一种fine art的确立必然是一种垄断性话语和实践的构建的产物，而由此，艺术史则进入了视觉文化和物质文化研究的范畴，研究的重心也从图像和审美要素进入社会学和人类学。 (展开)
