pt. I. Trajectories : Chinese artists and the West -- Chitqua : a Chinese artist in eighteenth-century London -- Cross-cultural dialogue and artistic innovation : Teng Baiye and Mark Tobey -- pt. II. Imported genres -- Iconicity and indexicality : the body in Chinese art -- Abstraction and modern Chinese art -- pt. III. Returning home : cites betweenChina and the world -- Illuminating facades : looking at post-colonialMacau -- The haunted city : Hong Kong and its urban others in the postcolonial era.

This book examines Chinese art from the mid-eighteenth century to the present, beginning withdiscussion of a Chinese portrait modeler fromCanton who traveled to London in 1769, and ending withan analysis of art and visual culture in post-colonial Hong Kong. By means of a seriesof six closely-focused case studies, often deliberately introducing non-canonical or previously marginalized aspects of Chinese visual culture, it analyzes Chinese art's encounter with the broader world, and in particular with the West. Offering more than a simple charting of influences, it uncovers a pattern ofrichly mutual interchange between Chinese art and its others. Arguing that we cannot fully understand modern Chinese art without taking this expanded global context into account, it attempts to breakdown barriers between areas of art history which havehitherto largely been treated within separate and often nationally-conceived frames. Aware that issues of cultural difference need to be addressedby art historians as much as by artists, it represents a pioneering attempt to produce an art historical writing which is truly global in approach. It hopes to appeal both to those with a special interest inmodern Chinese art and those who are only now becoming aware of this fascinating but previously under-explored field.
