The complex interweaving of different Western visions of China had
a profound impact on artistic exchange between China and the West
during the nineteenth century. Beyond Chinoiserie addresses the
complexity of this exchange. While the playful Western "vision of
Cathay" formed in the previous century continued to thrive, a more
realistic vision of China was increasingly formed through travel
accounts, paintings, watercolors, prints, book illustrations, and
photographs. Simultaneously, the new discipline of sinology led to
a deepening of the understanding of Chinese cultural history.
Leading and emerging scholars in the fields of art history,
literary studies and material culture, have authored the ten essays
in this book, which deal with artistic relations between China and
the West at a time when Western powers' attempts to extend a sphere
of influence in China led to increasingly hostile political
interactions.
