About this book
English
中文
The text in “Created in Canton” is in both Chinese and English and the beautiful full-colour photographs found within include 180 plates of watercolours from European collections. This is a comprehensive introduction to the huge number of paintings on pith made as souvenirs for visitors to Canton/Guangzhou in the nineteenth century. It is a testament to the dedicated research and perseverance of the author, Ifan Williams, who has created a record of these watercolours and by doing so has encouraged schools in Guangzhou to revive the art of painting on pith. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the culture and history of Canton and in relations between China and the West arising from the ‘China trade’.
本书所集是作者伊凡•威廉斯四十多年所致力研究的,产生于19世纪广州的外销工艺品——通草纸水彩画的成果的全体内容。书中除向读者介绍通草纸水彩画的成因、材质的制作、主要的生产者及通草纸水彩画在欧洲各国流传的历史,同时配合图片以主题形式向读者详细介绍当时中国广东的一些风俗。最为难得的是,书中图版的200多张通草纸水彩画是从欧美各国29家博物馆及画廊中挑选出来的精品,极具代表性、极其精美而且国内罕见。本书中英文对照,中文部分由中山大学程美宝教授译编。
