In Parting the Mists, Aida Yuen Wong makes a convincing argument that the forging of a national tradition in modern China was frequently pursued in association with rather than in rejection of Japan. The focus of her book is on Japan's integral role in the invention of "national-style painting," or guohua, in early-twentieth-century China. Guohua, referring to brush paintings on traditional formats, is often misconstrued as a residual conservatism from the dynastic age that barricaded itself within classical traditions. Wong places this art form at the forefront of cross-cultural exchange. Notable proponents of guohua (e.g., Chen Hengke, Jin Cheng, Fu Baoshi, and Gao Jianfu) are discussed in connection with Japan, where they discovered stylistic and ideological paradigms consonant with the empowering of "Asian/Oriental" cultural practices against the backdrop of encroaching westernization. Not just a "window on the West," Japan stood as an informant of China modernism in its own right.The first book in English devoted to Sino-Japanese dialogues in modern art, Parting the Mists explores the sensitive phenomenon of Japanism in the practice and theory of Chinese painting. Wong carries out a methodologically agile study that sheds light on multiple spheres: stylistic and iconographic innovations, history writing, art theory, patronage and the market, geopolitics, the creation of artists' societies, and exhibitions. Without avoiding the dark history of Japanese imperialism, she provides a nuanced reading of Chinese views about Japan and the two countries' convergent, and often colliding, courses of nationalism.

La peinture chinoise classique, au-delà de ses multiples courants, témoigne d'une continuité due à ce qu'elle est, aux yeux mêmes des Chinois, l'expression la plus haute de leur spiritualité. Tout au long des siècles, les théoriciens et les peintres eux-mêmes ont consigné par écrit leurs réflexions et leurs expériences. Cet ensemble de textes constitue un corpus organique, dans la mesure où il se réfère à une même conception cosmologique de base, où prime la notion de shen-ch'i (" Souffle-Esprit "), ainsi qu'à une même pratique de l'art du pinceau. Ce qui est tenté ici, c'est, pour la première fois en Occident, une présentation organisée selon des rubriques claires - art pictural en général, arbres et rochers, fleurs et oiseaux, paysages et hommes - de la meilleure part de ce corpus, traduite et annotée. Je voudrais très humblement offrir ce livre aux peintres vivants et à venir, et également à ceux qui s'intéressent à la pensée chinoise, à ceux qui aiment l'art en général et s'interrogent sur sa signification ultime, et finalement à tous ceux qui sont à la recherche d'une possibilité de vivre aujourd'hui. François Cheng
