<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Ink arts have flourished in China for more than two millennia. Once primarily associated with elite culture, ink painting is now undergoing a popular resurgence. <i>Ink Worlds</i> explores the modern evolution of this art form, from scrolls and panel paintings to photographic and video forms, and documents how Chinese ink arts speak to present-day concerns while simultaneously referencing deeply historical materials, themes, and techniques. </p> <p>Presenting the work of some two dozen artists from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United States in more than 100 full-color reproductions, the book spans pioneering abstract work from the late 1960s through twenty-first century technological innovations. Nine illustrated essays build a compelling case for understanding the modern form as a distinct genre, fusing art and science, history and technology, painting and film into an accessible theory of contemporary ink painting. </p> <p>The Yamazaki/Yang collection is widely recognized as one of the most important private collections of contemporary Chinese ink art. <i>Ink Worlds</i> is the first book to represent the collection from the perspective of contemporary art history. From its atmospheric mountainscapes to precise calligraphy, this book is a revelation, bringing together the past, present, and future of an enduring and adaptable art form. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Richard Vinograd</b> is the Christensen Fund Professor in Asian Art at Stanford University. <b>Ellen Huang</b> is Curatorial Fellow for Asian Arts at the Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University.
