Learning from Mount Hua: A Chinese Physician's Illustrated Travel Record and Painting Theory - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
Originally published in 1993, Learning from Mount Hua is a close study of a travelog written and illustrated by a late fourteenth-century Chinese physician and amateur painter, Wang Lü. Transformed by the experience of scaling Mount Hua, the Sacred Mountain of the West, Wang struggled to free himself from existing vocabularies of mountain forms and established conventions for travel painting. The final result is an album of forty unusual paintings and a moving travel record, translated here for the first time. Having reconstructed the original sequence of the paintings, Liscomb relates these landscapes to the travel record, helping the reader share Wang's experiences. Liscomb also translates the preface accompanying the Mt. Huaalbum and another of his essays on landscape painting and argues that it is necessary not only to analyse them in relation to contemporary and earlier art theories, but also in connection with Wang's writings as a medical scholar.

Revue de presse
"Liscomb's Learning from Mt. Hua is another example of groundbreaking, for as no study of this album has done before, it perceptively recognizes and authoritatively confirms the importance of a remarkable legacy in pictures and words of a man who traveled and painted with his eyes open." Kenneth Ganza, China Review International
"...an elegantly produced volume which contains the travel record and a series of paintings by Wang LÜ, a fourteenth-century Chinese physician and painter....The book is richly researched and the paintings are carefully chosen for the texts....Learning from Mt. Hua is a book which needs and deserves to be read over and over again." Maria Nöelle Ng, Canadian Literature
