1. Introduction and Pre-Han Pictorial Art (Введение и изобразительное искусство доханьского периода)

Доктор Джеймс Кэхилл, цикл лекций о ранней китайской живописи. 1. Введение и изобразительное искусство доханьского периода. Оригинальное описание: I begin by introducing my three major teachers, and go on to outline the background of the series: early attempts at histories of Chinese painting, photographing and cataloguing projects carried out in the 1960s and 1970s, and changing ideas about how art history should be constructed and written. I introduce Ernst Gombrich as a model for the kind of art-historical narrative I will attempt, but also emphasize the strong tradition of critical and historical writing in China that underlies my account. This first lecture ends with a brief introduction to early pictorial art in China: Neolithic painted pots, hunting-style bronzes, the earliest paintings on silk from Changsha.
