Shitao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Born in Quanzhou County in Guangxi province, Shitao was a member of the Ming royal house. Shitao is one of the most famous individualist painters of the early Qing dynasty. Shitao's stylistic innovations are difficult to place in the context of the period. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Shitao   (620 words)

Jingting Mountains in autumn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Shitao, a descendant of the imperial Ming family, is an exemplary figure in the long line of scholar-painters. Known under his Buddhist monk name of Daoji, or under his official name of Shitao ("petrified waves"), he was not only a landscape painter of repute but also a landscape architect, philosopher, poet and calligrapher. He skillfully drew inspiration from the Chinese landscape which, in principle, is never altered by man and which reveals the fascinating and terrifying faces of nature at its wildest. www.museeguimet.fr /gb/pages/page_id18184_u1l2.htm   (281 words)

Chinese art at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LACMA This vigor in Qing arts is nowhere better seen than in the work of Shitao, one of the most original and formally creative artists in all Chinese paintings. Shitao maintained a determined and articulate independence from the academicism that governed literati painting at the time. Shitao then evokes a great and precipitous leap across a mist-filled chasm to a higher view of steeply massed peaks, a mountain ridge, and a trail where three figures meet, their scale and detail seeming to contradict this implied distance. collectionsonline.lacma.org /mweb/about/chinese_about.asp   (1880 words)

Shitao   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Like Bada shanren, Shitao was both another Ming prince and another "individualist" painter. But while Bada shanren was a profoundly withdrawn individual who eventually proclaimed himself to be dumb, Shitao was a rambler and a bon vivant, who made frequent contacts with many people, including the Manchu emperor. Coming out of a highly developed tradition, Shitao was a rebel who wished to look not only look to the ancients but also to his own heart. www.ac.wwu.edu /~pearce/shitao.htm   (184 words)

Electronic Resources Shitao's late work (1697-1707) : a thematic map. It reveals Shitao to have practised painting as a rich mode of self-cultivation, one which in his late years was the primary means by which he defined his private and public identity. Finally, the study also aims to demonstrate the relevance of these concerns to the wider community from which his friends and patrons were drawn. sunzi1.lib.hku.hk /ER/detail/3075103   (101 words)

Shitao (Zhu Ruoji): Returning Home (1976.280h) | Object Page | Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The chrysanthemum, the favorite flower of the best-known ancient recluse-poet Tao Qian, was the symbol of reclusion (in another Shitao album of this period, now in the Sackler Collection of the Princeton University Art Museum, Tao Qian smells a chrysanthemum). As Shitao prepared to retire, he thought of Tao Qian, just as countless retired poets and painters had before him, and as others would in the centuries to follow. Although this poem was written to commemorate an unusual event, the blossoming of plum trees in October, its real subject is the chrysanthemum, which as the perennial late-bloomer symbolizes not only reclusion in itself, but also endurance and integrity, qualities with which the poet would obviously like to identify himself. www.metmuseum.org /toah/hd/qing_1/hod_1976.280h.htm   (297 words)

| Book Review | Journal of World History, 15.1 | The History Cooperative In less than four pages, Wills introduces his reader to the Chinese poet and painter Shitao, a descendant of a princely line related to the Ming dynasty who spent his adulthood struggling to live under the rule of the Qing. A writer about painting whose own works reflected enormous stylistic range, Shitao saw the source of all styles "in a primordial, undivided One Stroke." In Shitao's paintings and in his ideas, Wills finds sufficient resources to comprehend the over-arching realities of the late seventeenth century. Like Shitao letting the One Stroke appear in many forms, he hopes to avoid system, reflecting the unconfineable variety, splendor, and strangeness of the human condition" (p. www.historycooperative.org /journals/jwh/15.1/br_4.html   (729 words)

Shitao: Painting and Modernity in Early Qing China - Book Review Art Bulletin, The - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Shitao: Painting and Modernity in Early Qing China. An intriguing phenomenon of the field of art history in recent years is the intellectual reinvigoration of the monograph, a form of writing that at one point seemed to have fallen irredeemably from the position of dominance it once enjoyed. Many in the humanities, art historians included, have seen the task of historicizing subjectivity, which often owes an explicit or implicit im petus to the work of Michel Foucault, as compelling and engaging. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0422/is_4_84/ai_95679867   (377 words)

Amazon.ca: Shitao : Painting and Modernity in Early Qing China: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) In this study, the first full-length work on Shitao in a Western language, Jonathan Hay provides a theoretically sophisticated analysis of this artist by undertaking a social history of his achievement. By focusing on different social, political, biographical, economic, religious and aesthetic issues, the author reveals the full complexity of Shitao's practice. Throughout this study, Hay also argues for the modernity of Shitao's painting, showing how his work is embedded in the socioeconomic context of the seventeenth century and how it involves a redefinition of subjectivity in terms of self-consciousness, doubt, and an aspiration to autonomy. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0521393426   (299 words)

Untitled Document   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The artist, Shitao, is considered to be one of the “Great Individualists” of the Qing dynasty whose style is greatly influenced by the Tang, Sung, and Yuan dynasties. Art historians suggest that Shitao painted topographical pieces, like this one, because of the politics of his own time concerning the instability of the Qing dynasty and his growing interest in dynastic history sparked by his newly found imperial identity (he is part of a princely lineage). The hand scroll has the classic elements of a topographic landscape—the cracked-ice pattern of the field, the solitary ploughman, the mist around the city gate, and the bird’s-eye-view. www.stolaf.edu /courses/2004sem1/Art_and_Art_History/259/ArtsChina/jesse.html   (308 words)

Last check: 2007-10-12) Fu Baoshi painted several versions of this theme, an imaginary rendering of the abode of the seventeenth century individualist Shitao (also known as Yuanji or Daoji). His admiration for Shitao was almost fanatical, and he conducted a great deal of research into his life and work. He particularly admired the political stance of the artists of the seventeenth century he believed to have resisted service to the foreign Manchu dynasty, which took control of the nation in 1644. kaladarshan.arts.ohio-state.edu /exhib/gug/indxs/in/inpaintpgs/C4050M.html   (78 words)
