More about the book
In premodern China, elite painters used imagery not to mirror the world around them, but to evoke unfathomable experience. Considering their art alongside the philosophical traditions that inform it, this book explores the nonobject - a notion exemplified by paintings that do not seek to represent observable surroundings.
