Postlude. Arguing the Aftermath (Послесловие. Обсуждение итогов)

Доктор Джеймс Кэхилл, цикл лекций о ранней китайской живописи. Послесловие. Обсуждение итогов. A long discussion of how we can understand the direction that Chinese painting took after the end of the Song dynasty, and why the great Song tradition of ink-monochrome landscape was not really continued in China. Some additional thoughts on the quality of representational truthfulness, “likeness“ or “mimesis,“ which we are admonished by Orthodoxy advocates not to look for in Chinese painting, ends this lecture.
