The Chinese often use the expression du hua, “to read a painting,” in connection with their study and appreciation of such works. This volume closely “reads” thirty-six masterpieces of Chinese painting from the encyclopedic collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in order to reveal the major characteristics and themes of this rich pictorial tradition. The book examines multiple layers of meaning—style, technique, symbolism, past traditions, and the artist’s personal circumstances—through accessible texts and numerous large color details. A dynastic chronology, map, and list of further readings supplement the text.
Spanning a thousand years of Chinese art, these landscapes, flowers, birds, figures, religious subjects, and calligraphies illuminate the main goal of every Chinese artist: to capture not only the outer appearance of a subject but also its inner essence.

讲解了大都会博物馆收藏的36件中国书画。并不是系统性的艺术史，但由点带面地让我在欣赏作品的过程中，了解许多基本的艺术史背景和欣赏角度。作者何慕文是中国艺术的专家，但能深入浅出写出阅读轻松的小短文，反映了作者的深厚学识和独到眼光，也培养着读者的审美。大量精心拍摄、精印的高清大图，让人能够关注作品本身，而不仅仅是被动接受作者的观点。

这段时间很迷宋代山水画和赵孟頫的马，看电子版不过瘾想看纸质书，于是买了这本读，过眼瘾，等打完疫苗就去看真迹！FYI：如果想读“如何”，那这本书帮不了你。
