VOLUME 8 - NUMBER 2
Li An-Chung’s The Shrike
Autumn in Snow Country
Antique Beauty of the New Frontier
Marvelous Minka of Japan
Mughal Emperor Jehangir
Cover. Bird paintings, not of as Aristotelian aesthetic but of an Oriental – Taoist – respect for the nature of the bird independent of man’s valuation, are among China’s gifts to world art. During the sojourn of the Chinese imperial court in Hangchow, when the Sung was driven from its Yellow River seat at Kaifeng by advancing Chin forces, the “bird-predator-hunting-victim” genre reached a height that has yet to be surpassed. A master in this branch of Chinese painting was Li An-chung, whose “The Shrike” is analyzed in this issue by Tseng Yu of the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
