"Jason C. Kuo's in-depth study of the paintings of Gao Xingjian
significantly enriches our understanding of a major cultural
polymath. This lavishly illustrated book enables us to make
important connections between painting and writing, a type of
synthesis often downplayed by western post-Enlightenment tendencies
toward cultural specialization but very much at the heart of the
Chinese literati tradition." Paul Gladston (University of
Nottingham), principal editor of the Journal of Contemporary
Chinese Art and author of Contemporary Chinese Art: A Critical
History. "In The Inner Landscape: The Paintings of Gao Xingjian,
Jason C. Kuo offers his readers a multifaceted lens through which
to frame an engagement with the remarkable pictorial, filmic, and
literary art of the Chinese writer and 2000 Nobel laureate in
literature, Gao Xingjian. A central theme in his oeuvre is
reflection on his life as a writer in self-exile in France, a life
at once burdened with the memory of his homeland and yet
artistically liberating. Kuo illuminates our understanding of the
meaning and significance of his art by situating it within a
critical discussion of the contemporary context of global
modernity, a context that challenges our notions of national
cultural identity in an age of mobile subjectivity and the
deterritorialization of cultural practices." Stephen J. Goldberg
(Hamilton College), author of Dislocating the Center: Contemporary
Chinese Art Beyond National Borders. "The Inner Landscape: The
Paintings of Gao Xingjian presents almost 300 paintings by the
contemporary artist, poet, film-maker, author, and Nobel Laureate
Gao Xingjian. Jason C. Kuo's erudite study not only details Gao's
development as an intellectual, but also contextualizes and
explores his attitudes toward writing, painting, and film-making in
the interstices of 'East' and 'West'." Katharine P. Burnett
(University of California, Davis), author of Dimensions of
Originality: Essays in Seventeenth-Century Chinese Art Criticism.
"The Inner Landscape: The Paintings of Gao Xingjian by Jason C. Kuo
is a most thought-provoking and intelligent study of the art of Gao
Xingjian. Kuo, driven by a desire for synthesis in his scholarship,
brings a modernist practice to bear on a long tradition of
intellectual discourse in China." Frances Klapthor, Baltimore
Museum of Art.
