Baohui lu), presenting an extensive catalogue of a purportedly vast painting collection he claimed to have built. However, the entire book is Zhangs meticulously crafted forgery; he even forged paintings to match the documentation, and profited from trading them. Furthermore, the book intriguingly mirrors unfounded art-historical claims of its time. Prominent figures like Dong Qichang (15551636) made entirely fabricated arguments to assert legitimate lineages in Chinese art, designed to create a fictionalized history shaped by preferred beliefs rather than reality.</p><p>While presenting the first comprehensive exploration of various forgery practices in early modern Chinafabricated texts, forged paintings, and fictitious art history<em>The Forgers Creed</em> examines the cultural, social, and genealogical desires, anxieties, and tensions prevalent in early modern China. Through thorough scrutiny of the historical irregularities introduced by these forgeries, J. P. Park highlights a peculiar and paradoxical phenomenon wherein forgeries transform into legitimate materials across Chinese history.</p>...7003708The Forgers Creed9221025https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-forgers-creed-9780520403819/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6957527/image.jpg?v=638825546454200000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
