Good readable/working copy.; "Western collectors who have specialized in Chinese painting are rare indeed. Even rarer are those who have assembled important holdings of Chinese calligraphy. As a discerning collector of both Chinese painting and Chinese calligraphy, John M. Crawford Jr. occupies a special position in the rare-fied world of connoisseurship. His extraordinary contribution to our knowledge of Chinese culture transcends that of the usual collector-connoisseur, in part because from the beginning of his interest in the arts of China, John Crawford realized that the true collector forms taste rather than being influenced by it. At the same time, he clearly rесognized the obligation to catalogue and to publish his collection. In this, he was following in the tradition of the great Ming and Ch'ing dynasty collectors. In this new publication of Chinese painting and calligraphy from his collection, John Crawford is fortunate to have obtained the collaboration of Wan-go Weng, himself a distinguished collector. The introductory text and specific entries written by Wan-go Weng provide new information about those scrolls previously published. In addition, a number of works acquired since the appearance of the original Crawford catalogue in 1962 are being published for the first time. The design of this new catalogue reflects Wan-go Weng's good taste, as well as his personal understanding of Chinese art. He has carefully chosen details of individual works to illustrate significant nuances of brushwork and ink technique. By isolating details from the total composition, the scrolls are presented with a totally different, sometimes unexpected, emphasis, enabling the reader to regard them in new and exciting ways and, thereby, to appreciate them afresh." excerpt from preface, by Thomas Lawton, director of the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution.…
