I can not think of a better legacy for James Cahill, one of the greatest of all Chinese art historians than this series plus his generosity in making many of his articles and speeches available to all of us who didn't have the opportunity of studying with him. I am watching this series in coordination with reading some of his many writings, and I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world. Thank you Professor Cahill.
I'm deeply thankful to James Cahill, for the effort put into the series, and thankful to my era, in which i can access such a rich source of knowledge and information by free.
Wonderful series. I just discovered it today. Cahill passed away slightly over 1 year ago on February 14, 2014. I read his great anthology on Chinese painting when I was living in Hong Kong in the mid-90s.
Curious about the interpretation at about 1:08:00 and the "weights" in the bow hunters baskets. Perhaps instead these are spools of line for retrieving shot birds or shot arrows.
I wish Mr. Cahill had developed a script for each lecture and stuck to it. This rambling delivery with allusions that are not followed up and recollections that are incomplete throw aways is a great mistake and a disservice to his scholarship. Post graduate students may find these lectures informative but for those seeking a concise history of Chinese art/painting, given in say 60 minute episodes, this program leaves much to be desired.
I really appreciate the time to tak eto upload these videos but It would be great if you try to put a lecture notes with it or practice questions. i just have you as a guide. Your videos are are my only source of learning.
