Visual Culture in Shanghai, 1850s-1930s is a study of formal and
informal meanings of Haipai ("Shanghai School" or "Shanghai
Style"), as seen through the paintings of the Shanghai school as
well as other media of visual representation. The book provides us
a point of entry into the nexus of relationships that structured
the encounter between China and the West as experienced by the
treaty-port Chinese in their everyday life. Exploring such
relationships gives us a better sense of the ultimate significance
of Shanghai's rise as China's dominant metropolitan center. This
book will appeal not only to art historians, but also to students
of history, gender studies, women's studies, and culture studies
who are interested in modern China as well as questions of art
patronage, nationalism, colonialism, visual culture, and
representation of women. "This book constitutes a significant
contribution to the literature about a period and a city that were
pivotal to the emergence of modern China." -Richard K. Kent,
Franklin & Marshall College. "This book navigates the
complexity of Chinese modernity.. It bridges, conceptually and
visually, the China of the past to present-day Shanghai, the symbol
of the urban economy of 21st-century China." -Chao-Hui Jenny Liu,
New York University. "Shanghai was the rising and dynamic
metropolis, where many aspects of modernity were embraced with
enthusiasm. Pictorial art was no longer the domain of the elite,
but professionalization, commercialization, popularization, and
Westernization contributed to the dissemination of images to a
larger and diverse audience." -Minna Torma, University of Helsinki.
