Description
This book is the first careful study of Tang Hou and his Huajian . It provides a reconstruction of Tang Hous biography, political career, and his associations with the early Yuan elite and important figures, and further situates not only his equality with the most respected artistic advocators and leaders of his own time, but also his significance in the study of Chinese painting of the Yuan and beyond. In addition, this study also sheds light on the artistic context of the time in which Tang Hous artistic criteria developed, the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century China. This clarification of Tang Hous artistic milieu context and his Huajian contributes to modern scholarship by providing a careful assessment of Tang Hous thinking about and taste in paintings which, in turn, readjusts our perception of the painting developments in the Yuan.
