"Ma Yuan emerges as an artist who captures the reality of season, time, and mood in
a dazzlingly abbreviated style that is nonetheless utterly convincing in its rendering
of the natural world.--Maxwell K. Hearn Metropolitan Museum of Art ; Ichard Edwards
and Ma Yuan have something in common: both are deeply committed to the work of art
and the medium of ink painting. And like Ma Yuan's brushwork, Edwards's prose couples
formal restraint with expressive power. This book is a major contribution to the literature
on the art of ink painting at the Southern Song court.--Robert Sharf University of
California, Berkeley ; Ma Yuan, one of China's best-known artists, was a key figure
in the period widely celebrated as the golden era of Chinese landscape painting. The
Heart of Ma Yuan offers a careful discussion of Ma Yuan's painting as it emerged within
the sophisticated artistic environment of Hangzhou in the late twelfth and early thirteenth
centuries ; Beautifully illustrated with more than 300 illustrations from leading
museums and private collections around the world, the book includes discussions of
Ma Yuan's family of six generations of skillful painters, his many patrons, and his
distinctive style in engaging Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist genres and his superb
landscapes, including animals, flowers, and detailed studies of water ; Widely noted
for his own keen eye and masterful stylistic analysis, Richard Edwards cultivates
the art of looking for a broad readership, from general art lovers to specialists
in art history. As a Western scholar exploring the significance of a highly refined
Eastern culture, he draws on natural history, poetry, and relevant contemporary writing
as well as the work of other artists. --Book Jacket
