Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This interdisciplinary study promotes the thesis that some contemporary Chinese ink artists succeed in using principles of traditional Chinese aesthetics to convey the union of self with nature, others and the universe. The investigation is a case study of the writings and paintings of Jizi, an ink-wash artist in Beijing, who combines images of icy mountains, Tibetan landscapes, cosmic vistas, and enclosures of personal existence. Jizi¿s success in expressing the unification of these dimensions is confirmed by developing and applying an interpretation of Jing Haös classic description of the authentic image, which resonates with the vitality of nature. To find words for resonance with visible nature, the inquiry extends to such writers as Li Zehou, Arthur Danto and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. In short, an account of authenticity in Chinese ink painting is offered experimentally as a means for assessing whether contemporary Chinese artworks are expressive of Chinese philosophy and culture. The text includes stylistic comparisons with artists such as E.C. Escher, Guo Xi, Jia Youfu, Liu Guosong, Rene Magritte, Piet Mondrian, and Xu Bing. The result is an appreciation of the healing influence of Chinese ink art in a global culture that is vibrant, complex, diverse and affirming of the present.In this rigorous, far-reaching, and original analysis of contemporary ink art painting, Brubaker and Wang focus our attention on the work of one independent painter, Jizi, whose work exemplifies an uncanny marriage between ink art and contemporary concerns. In the central chapters, Brubaker persuasively argues that in this work Jizi captures principles essential to traditional Chinese aesthetics articulated in terms of wholeness, emptiness, and visibility that enable the works to express the unification of the self with nature and the universe as a whole. It does this through forms that are innovative and part of artistic practices and discourses that are becoming increasingly global.Mary WisemanThe City University of New YorkThis important publication focuses on the evocative ink wash paintings of an artist who has, over the course of decades, demonstrated an unwavering commitment to exploring the technical, formal, philosophical and experiential dimensions of his chosen medium. The essays, commentaries and critical reflections collected in this volume present unique perspectives on Jizi's practice, significantly contributing to the growing body of scholarship on the continuing vitality of the ink wash tradition in the global contemporary.Dr. Wenny TeoThe Courtauld Institute of ArtThrough an in-depth study of the ink painting practice of contemporary Chinese artist Jizi, the authors discover Chinese ink painting¿s philosophical perspectives, cosmic foundations, and contemporary possibilities. They also uncovered a way to enter into the artist¿s rich and profound spiritual world; through Jiazi¿s expansive visual patterning and refined spiritual imagery, he activates a long and great cultural tradition.Yu YangCentral Academy of Fine ArtsSpringer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 168 pp. Englisch.

Catalogue for the exhibition ; 'Strange Wonders : Jizi and the Pioneers of Contemporary Ink from China.' Strange Wonders is taken from a poem written in the 14th century by the ink painter Ni Zan (1301-1374). The term evokes the mysterious awe that nature elicits in the individual in the Chinese landscape tradition, echoed by European romanticism and the related emergence of modernism in the 19th and 20th centuries. It could also refer to subconscious states of mind explored by the surrealist movement in the early to mid-twentieth century, when artists such as Leonora Carrington painted fantastical imagery evoking dreamlike worlds whereby outright order and rationality are left behind and inner desires unleashed. The subtitle Dreams, Desires and Daoism explores the idea of the inner self through the resonation of Chinese Daoist thought to contemporary ink practices and aesthetics. As such, it gives a discursive grounding to Chinese artistic forms within a transnational cultural context. In the words of John Hay, desires in the ink tradition can be read in the textural surface and depth of the works and hang on the threads of multi-layered cultural allusions . The enigmatic quality of modern and contemporary ink works can be read within these discursive and art historical legacies. As hybrid forms woven from a variety of cultural threads in the modern period, they can be read in dialogue with a Chinese cultural legacy that consists of a syncretic tradition of Confucianist-Buddhist-Daoist thought reaching back more than two thousand years.
