Zhao Mengfu – Calligraphy and Painting for Khubilai′s China

Shane McCausland is Senior Lecturer in Chinese art in the Department of the History of Art and Archaeology at SOAS, University of London.

Shane McCausland's study of Zhao Mengfu as a calligrapher and painter is a pleasure to read and a major contribution to the field of Chinese art studies. It is a landmark not only because it is the first monograph in a Western language on one of the most significant artists in world history, but also because of McCausland's great art historical sensitivity and sinological expertise. -- Robert E.
