The resulting, seemingly haphazard, overlapping compositions contain coded reflections on the decay of cultural traditions, or wishes for the recipient's good fortune. Widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, bapo was never popular with the upper echelons of the Chinese art world, and as a result was never recorded in art-history texts or mentioned by cultural critics. It became a lost branch of Chinese art, almost completely forgotten for the past 60 years. This book explores the origins of bapo in Chinese visual culture and traces how it blossomed into an intriguing and inventive tradition in the hands of many artists. 000852512 650_0 $$aPainting, Chinese$$vExhibitions. 000852512 650_0 $$aPainting, Chinese$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000852512 655_7 $$aExhibition catalogs.$$2lcgft 000852512 7102_ $$aMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston. 000852512 7400_ $$aChina's 8 brokens, puzzles of the treasured past. 000852512 85200 $$bgen$$hN7344.5.B37$$iB47$$i2018 000852512 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:852512$$pGLOBAL_SET 000852512 980__ $$aBIB 000852512 980__ $$aBOOK
