Description

Book Synopsis
Presents a study of an important genre of Ming-dynasty Chinese painting in which landscapes are actually disguised portraits that celebrate an individual and his achievements, ambitions, and tastes in an open effort to win recognition, support, and social status.

Trade Review
"A detailed and insightful essay on a type of occasional painting popular in later China... In addition to its erudition, this book is a most enjoyable read."--Patricia Eichenbaum Karetzky, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
