“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 • Beautifully illustrated with more than 300 illustrations from leading museums and private collections around the world. • Offers a careful discussion of the paintings of Ma Yuan, one of China’s best-known artists in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. • Widely noted for his own keen eye and masterful stylistic analysis, the author cultivates the art of looking for a broad readership, from general art lovers to specialists in art history.
