| Summary: | Bringing to light the largely overlooked female participation in domestic and international art worlds, this book offers the first comprehensive study of how women embroiderers, traditionalist calligraphers and painters, including Shen Shou, Wu Xingfen, Jin Taotao, and members of Chinese Women's Society of Calligraphy and Painting, shaped the terrain of the modern art world and gender positioning during China's important moments of social-cultural transformation from empire to republic. Drawing on a wealth of previously unexhibited artworks, rare artist's monographs, women's journals, personal narratives, diaries, and catalogs of international expositions, Doris Sung not only affirms women's significant roles as guardian and innovator of traditionalist art forms for a modern nation, but she also reveals their contribution to cultural diplomacy and revaluation of Chinese artistic heritage on the international stage in the early twentieth century. |
