Book Title: The Double Screen Medium and Representation in Chinese Painting

Author: Wu Hung

Selection Statement:

This book drew me from literature to art and art history in graduate school. It was sophisticated yet accessible, and it convinced me that works of art are not only marvels to behold but also enigmas to be solved. The answers to those enigmas tell us how we perceive, depict, and (re)shape the world we live in.
