Wonder and Art: Cambridge Conversations with Tim Yip
Low stock: 1 left
This conversation between Tim Yip, the renowned artist, and Professor Alan Macfarlane, a historian and anthropologist, is part of the Cambridge Conversations series, which include the previously published conversation between Professor Zhu Yongxin and Alan Macfarlane A Comparison Between Chinese and British Education. The present book likewise attempts to build a bridge of understanding between China and the West, this time on the theme of the deeper principles of art, aesthetics and philosophy. Tim Yip, with his multiple achievements in the fields of art direction for film and opera, as well as photography, painting and museum exhibition curation, is a perfect guide to Chinese thought, in particular the revival of older traditions which he calls ‘The New Orientalism’. Alan Macfarlane, as an anthropologist who has worked in the West, Nepal, Japan and China and also on the long history of Western civilisation, is a knowledgeable and sensitive conversational companion in the search for deeper understanding of our increasingly intertwined, fragmented yet still enchanted world.
