A Century in Crisis
by Jonathan D. Spence
Between 1850 and today, China has undergone an unprecedented series of shocks and transformations. This dramatic period--which has seen urban industrialization, conquest by foreign powers, civil wars, changing governments, and, more recently, a gradual opening to the international community--has also marked an explosion of artistic experimentation and innovation. Spanning 150 spectacular years of artistic production, A Century in Crisis --which accompanied a landmark exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum SoHo in early 1998--offers the first systematic exploration of modern and contemporary Chinese art.Essays by leading scholars show the ways in which Chinese artists have grappled with modernity, tradition, self-definition, and the adoption and rejection of Western conventions. Sumptuous colorplates showcase a dazzling array of achievements--including Shanghai School paintings, modern calligraphy, commercial art, 1920s and '30s woodblock prints, modern guohua (traditional ink and color paintings), socialist realist paintings, and other contemporary works.Julia F. Andrews is a leading scholar of modern Chinese art and a professor at Ohio State University.Kuiyi Shen is Presidential Fellow at Ohio State University.Jonathan Spence is a renowned scholar of Chinese history and a professor at Yale University.
