About this project
This Scalar project is an enhanced digital version of one of these reviews, written by Stephen H. Whiteman and originally published in The Art Bulletin 99:2 (June 2017): pp. 189-93. It expands upon the substance of its print counterpart by inviting readers of the review to engage directly with the Chinese Painting & Calligraphy catalog, with the capacity to follow the path that the reviewer has laid out, to browse the breadth of the collection, and to explore the details of any single image. But, it also sends the reader in many new directions and to other relevant sites and projects.
This digital publication is the product of a collaboration between:
Stephen H. Whiteman, University of Sydney (Author)
Nancy Um, Binghamton University (Reviews Editor of The Art Bulletin, 2015-2018)
Lauren Cesiro, Binghamton University (Digital Content Manager)
