This book contemplates a large problem: what is a traditional Chinese painting? Wu Hung answers this question through a comprehensive analysis of the screen; a major format and a popular pictorial motif in traditional China. The Double Screen offers a powerful non-Western perspective on diverse artistic and cultural genres; from portraiture and pictorial narratives to voyeurism and masquerade.

Inspirational amazingness!By Dan PerleaFor my bachelors degree; I studied theatre and dance; and although Im not a great dancer; I am amazed at the ability to control your body with such precision. This book is the epitome of that precision; and puts it into an everyday context. I love the book; and think the photography is simply stunning; though; I have to admit that Im quite jealous that Jordan Matter created these beautiful images and not me. I got into photography because of dance; I wanted to capture the beauty; and at some point that got away from me and I started photographing pets and products and weddings. This reminds me of why I got into this field; and what it was that made me fall in love with the arts. I highly recommend this book; as Ive shown it to many non-dancer friends and they all say the same thing. It is inspirational; creative; and most importantly; extremely enjoyable!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great tabletop bookBy Chris Mowerygreat photos and composition0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
