Geremie R. Barmé is a Professor at the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Institute of Advanced Studies, at the Australian National University. He is the editor of East Asian History and is author of In the Red (1999), Shades of Mao: The Posthumous Cult of the Great Leader (1996), and coeditor of New Ghosts, Old Dreams: Chinese Rebel Voices (1992). He was also an associate director and writer for the film The Gate of Heavenly Peace (Boston 1995), and is codirecting with Carma Hinton and Richard Gordon Morning Sun, a documentary film on the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
This engrossing book, a brilliant blend of biography and criticism, tells the story of Feng Zikai (1898-1975), one of the most gifted and important artists to emerge from the politically tumultuous decades of the 1920s and 1930s. Barmé provides a closely woven parallel history, that of the life of writer-artist Feng, who was also an essayist and a translator, and that of China's turbulent twentieth century. He investigates Feng Zikai's aesthetic vision, its development, and how it relates to traditional and contemporary Chinese cultural values and debates.
Although Feng was known for his so-called casual drawings, he was reluctant to classify his art. According to Barmé, much of his writing and painting was rooted in a philosophy of self-expression. Difficult to position in relation to existing Chinese political and social nomenclature, Feng remains, to a large extent, an enigma. He was sympathetic to the average person and the impoverished peasant, yet he was a romantic, and often identified with the increasingly politicized intelligentsia. A devout Buddhist, he was a close observer of nature and children, and while his art appeared gentle, it often carried a strong message.
Much has been written about Feng Zikai, a figure who has become popular among elite and mass audiences in the Chinese world once more, but no other work has examined his place among May Fourth writers and intellectuals nor his position within the context of China's artistic, religious, and literary tradition. An Artistic Exile moves straight to the heart of debates surrounding modernization, religion, science, the essence of a tradition in an age of colonial modernity, and the ethos of political and social thought in twentieth-century China.

讀書,一不留神就讀齣瞭人生。從前讀過的豐子愷的種種,終究是淺薄瞭。在《藝術的逃難:豐子愷傳》之前,隻是心安理得地享受豐老先生貢獻的甘美,渾然不知那些曼妙清幽的因果根底。若非澳大利亞學者白傑明的紮實研究,豐子愷一生的歡欣與無奈也就這麼隱在瞭他的作品之後...
評分讀書,一不留神就讀齣瞭人生。從前讀過的豐子愷的種種,終究是淺薄瞭。在《藝術的逃難:豐子愷傳》之前,隻是心安理得地享受豐老先生貢獻的甘美,渾然不知那些曼妙清幽的因果根底。若非澳大利亞學者白傑明的紮實研究,豐子愷一生的歡欣與無奈也就這麼隱在瞭他的作品之後...
評分——評《藝術的逃難》 文/驀煙如雪 在《藝術的逃難》中,豐傢的親人讓豐子愷不要再畫畫,他無視傢人的反對說,“‘文革’中我承認我的畫都是毒草,然而世間有一種人視毒草為香花,什襲珍藏。對此種人,我還是樂意給他們珍藏。”那些年他是‘異類’,但在如今他在世人眼裏卻...
評分傢住夕陽江上村,一灣流水繞柴門。種來鬆樹高於屋,藉與春禽養子孫。這首詩來自葉唐夫,它曾被豐子愷引用在《護生畫集》上。這首詩錶達的意境,想必和豐子愷幼時的傢鄉石門鎮有些相似。特彆是那句一彎流水繞柴門,畫麵感特彆的強烈。 以往我對豐子愷的瞭解,多數來自書本上,...
評分提到豐子愷,我們的第一印象可能是關於他的詩意風格漫畫,還有他的師父李叔同(弘一法師),以及他跟隨弘一法師齣傢等等比較惹人眼球的“事跡”,在圖書館偶遇《逃難的藝術:豐子愷傳》,也希望可以藉此對豐子愷有一點淺薄的瞭解。 豐子愷一生也算是曆盡坎坷,最終沒能等到文革...

Meticulously researched and engagingly written, Barme's work is a model of empathetic biography that allows us to "feel" the subject. An important example and symbol of non-political artistic and literary engagement with the changing historical landscape, Feng Zikai deserved this study.
