Description
'The "Water" Theme in Chinese Painting' is a scholarly study by Robert J. Maeda, originally published in 'Artibus Asiae', volume 33, no. 4, in 1971. Maeda examines the development of water as an independent subject in Chinese painting, tracing its treatment from the late Tang period through the Song dynasty and considering the techniques used by artists to depict flowing water, waves and other aquatic forms. Particular attention is given to works associated with painters such as Ma Yuan and to the changing role of water within Chinese landscape painting. The study includes extensive scholarly references and 26 pages of plates, making it a specialised work for students and collectors of Chinese art.
