Kaikodo Journal XIX Spring 2001

A Natural Selection

Corresponding to the exhibition held between March 19 and April 28, 2001. 48 Chinese, Korean and Japanese paintings; 42 Chinese and Vietnamese objects (90 color plates). Preface by Howard Rogers. 356 pages.

Includes the essays:
Joseph McDermott:
    “Chinese Lenses and Chinese Art”
James Cahill:
    “Two Palace Museums: An Informal Account
    of Their Formation and History” (Ching
    Yuan Chai so-shih
IV)
Howard Rogers:
    “Lives of the Painters: Li T’ang (ca.1080-ca.
    1163)”

In his esssay, Joseph McDermott, Professor of Chinese 
History at Cambridge University, views the 
evolution of Chinese culture from a most 
unusual perspective, that provided by an 
examination of the introduction of the optical 
lens from the West and its subsequent impact on 
Chinese art. Professor McDermott’s essay was 
conceived and delivered as a paper at a 
conference on “Text and Image in Chinese 
Culture” held at St. John’s College, Cambridge, 
from December 16-19, 1999, with generous 
support from the Foundation for European 
Cultural Exchange under the presidency of 
Dr. Ding Yih Liu.

The second essay, by James Cahill, Professor Emeritus at the University of 
California at Berkeley, provides an intriguing 
overview of the recent history of the Palace 
Museum collections now held in Taipei and in 
Beijing. In examining the evolution of the 
imperial collection from its early Qing dynasty 
origins to its present bifurcation into two 
separate public collections of quite different 
nature, Professor Cahill touches upon 
significant political events that are illumined in 
turn by the varying impacts they exerted on 
collecting attitudes and activities.

Howard Rogers’s essay on the Song painter Li Tang (Li T’ang) (ca. 1080-ca. 1163) 
examines the particulars of the artist’s life and seeks to 
provide increased understanding of the 
changing challenges to which he responded as a 
professional artist working in first the Northern 
Song capital Kaifeng and then the new seat 
of government in Hangzhou.
