Seller's Description:
VG/VG-(Book is in very good condition, DJ has two small tears. ) Teal paper boards with coral cloth spine, pale green & illus. DJ. xi, 187 pp. Profuse bw plates. "Reveals the intricacies of the painter's life with respect to payment and patronage--an approach that is still largely absent from the study of East Asian art. Drawing upon such unofficial archival sources as diaries and letters, Cahill challenges the traditional image of the disinterested amateur scholar-artist, unconcerned with material rewards, that has been developed by China's literati, perpetuated in conventional biographies, and abetted by the artists themselves. His work fills in the hitherto unexplored social and economic contexts in which painters worked, revealing the details of how painters in China actually made their living from the sixteenth century onward." (dj).
