Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

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:
