Soft Cover. Etat : New. Second edition. The great Song Dynasty poet and artist, Mi Fu (1051-1107), wrote treatises on painting and calligraphy, in addition to the present work on inkstones, translated here by the eminent Dutch diplomat and Sinologist, Dr. R H van Gulik. In the case of the first two works, the subjects of Mi Fu's deliberations have long since disappeared. There remain, however, numerous surviving examples of inkstones from the Song and earlier dynasties, enabling us to compare Mi Fu's words with the actual objects he describes. The importance of the inkstone as an essential tool of the Chinese literati and thus the importance of our understanding its nature to our overall comprehension of Chinese brushwork, is but one aspect of the present work. The inkstone is, in addition to a tool, a work of art in its own right, combining the skill and wit of the sculptor with the ancient Chinese tradition of appreciation of beautiful stones. In Mi Fu on Inkstones, Dr van Gulik provides not only a guide to the connoisseurship of this essential treasure of the scholar's studio, but also an illuminating glimpse into the mind of this brilliant eleventh century artist. (First edition Peking, 1938, now impossible to obtain.). xii, 71 pp., 13 b&w illustrations, map, index. The original Chinese text of Mi Fu's Yen Shih is also reproduced, alongside the English translation. Size: 24 x 17 cm.

Edition originale
First Edition. Octavo. vii, 70 pages. Translated by R.H. Van Gulik with an introduction and notes. Bibliographical list of abbreviation. This rare monograph appeared in a small print run in 1938 and was published in China. Mi Fu (or Mi Fei) was the celebrated Sung painter, critic and connoisseur. Here is an important look at Chinese painting and calligraphy. Van Gulik noted that the Yen shih furnishes material about Mi Fu's critical methods. Here the matter of the work is not merely the content but the role of ink, brushes, and silk as well as paper. Bound in black cloth over beveled boards lettered and decorated in red and white, spine lettering white, tiny chips to cloth at spine ends, lettering with a bit of rubbing. Text in English incorporating some Chinese text. A very good copy.
