Description:
New Haven and London: Yale University Art Gallery and Yale University Press, 1990. 4to, pp. 299, [1]; text illustrations throughout; full black cloth, gilt title on spine; fine in near fine dust jacket with some light edgewear. "The only comprehensive analysis of the life and art of Bada Shanren ever written... Bada Shanren created one of the most compelling and distinctive bodies of graphic art in the history of Chinese culture... Although portrayed by his contemporaries as a mad eccentric, his art reveals a rational genius, and evidence suggests that he feigned madness to conceal his inner emotions. Despite his enigmatic character, he has had a profound influence on later generations of Chinese artists, especially those of the twentieth century."
