CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF CHINESE ART:
the choices of western academics and collectors in the early 20th century
The focus in this paper is on western perceptions on Chinese painting, though other art works will be discussed briefly (when appropriate) and temporally this covers from ca. 1900 to early 1960s. The emphasis will be on the texts by western writings, but collectors come into the picture as well, since collecting and research were in many instances entangled with each other (though there are exceptions). Besides, the same person could take up the roles of curator/collector/dealer/art historian.
