The sixteenth century in China was a period of rapid and
unprecedented economic expansion. The period also saw a parallel
growth in the sphere of cultural production,as a growing class of
consumers benefited from the formation of one of the classic early
modern consumer societies. Pictures were a major source of
consumable luxury at this time; pictures not only in the form of
images classifiable as 'art', but also in the form of wall
decoration, in books, maps, images on ceramics, and even on the
dress of the prosperous. Artefacts that had previously been
decorated with formal patterns now bore landscape scenes,
representations of historical characters and incidents, and scenes
from literature, often closely related to the world of the
illustrated book. This is the first survey of this vast array of
images in all its aspects, providing a stimulating and innovative
point of entry to Chinese history. Pictures and Visuality in Early
Modern China will be of interest to students of China's history and
culture and to anyone exploring theories of visuality.
