The Painting Masters Shame by Amy Mcnair
The Painting Masters Shame describes the remarkable circumstances of the period around 1120, when the Xuanhe Catalogue of Paintings was written. Amy McNairs translation and analysis offers a definitive argument for Liang Shicheng, not Emperor Huizong, as the catalogues compiler.
McNair presents a convincing new interpretation of a well-known, important textIn the process, she offers an intimate sense of the ambitions and frustrations of powerful eunuch officials at the court of Emperor Huizong…An important contribution to political history and the history of art during the Northern Song. -- Christian de Pee * Journal of Chinese History *
Amy McNair is Professor of East Asian Studies and the History of Art at the University of Kansas.
