Portrait of an Artist” and “Cultural Iconography as Style (2009)

Description

The art world is currently enthralled with contemporary Chinese art. This book argues, however, that American audiences have been exposed only to a narrow range of what is available—with the majority of attention having been given to “avant-garde,” “experimental,” or politically charged art. Outside In discusses contemporary Chinese art in a far wider range of styles and subject matter and substantially expands on our understanding of this work.
