Singing of the source : nature and god in the poetry of the Chinese painter Wu Li
Jonathan Chaves (Author)
Wu Li (1632-1718) was one of the orthodox masters of early Ching dynasty painting, but his reputation as a painter, even in his own life-time, obscured his achievement as a poet. His real originality, however, lies in the unprecedented boldness of his experimental creation: a Chinese Christian poetry, utterly traditional in its use of shih and chu forms and such devices as parallelism and allusion, while equally unconventional in being based on orthodox Christian theology
