Extract
This book began as a dissertation written at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. I can pinpoint its origins to a long-ago meeting with Jonathan Hay, during which he insisted on showing me reproductions of Shanghai paintings despite my total lack of interest; eighteen months later I found myself signing up to write my dissertation on Ren Bonian. I owe Jonathan a great debt for that first conversation and many others since. The late Robert Rosenblum instilled in me an abiding attachment to the nineteenth century and modeled a great affection for pictures that I always keep in mind. At Columbia University, Professor Pei-yi Wu provided elegant and erudite direction in reading and thinking about Chinese texts. During those graduate years and after, I have been lucky to share the company and support of several fellow travelers including Nixi Cura, Francesca Dal Lago, Katie Ryor, and Miriam Wattles. Other travelers and friends to whom I am particularly grateful are Yeewan Koon for pointing out the way, Sarah Schneewind for setting a good example, and Samia Hasan for bearing with me. Since I began writing this book in 2008, Tobie Meyer-Fong and Shane McCausland gave me opportunities to rethink and present my material in ways that were enormously useful. The meetings (both in-person and virtual) of the workshop group on Qing art have been a real gift, and I thank my fellow Qingalings Chen Kaijun, Lisa Claypool, John Finlay, Kristina Kleutghen, Lai Yu-chih, Liu Lihong, Michele Matteini, Wang Chenghua, and Stephen Whiteman, as well as Yeewan, Francesca, and Nixi, for their ideas, comments, work, and comradeship in the Qing.
