Research Chinese Painting History from the Perspective of "the Other"——Commentary on The Compelling Image to Catch Sight of the Dual Aspects of James Cahill's Art History
In the field of Chinese painting history,Cahill adopted both internal and external research methods.Through the visual-centered analysis of form and style,the author explores the changes of the Times and the social truth hidden behind the"disharmonious"factors in the works,breaking through the previous academic style research barriers and impacting the historical text model.At the same time,it also included non-mainstream research objects in the history of Chinese painting,further dispelling the public's sense of worship for the"amateur spirit"and provi-ding a new reference paradigm for the study of art history.
