"Though Jesuits assumed a variety of roles as missionaries in late imperial China their most memorable guise was that of scientific expert whose maps clocks astrolabes and armillaries reportedly astonished the Chinese. But the icon of the missionary-scientist is itself a complex myth. Masterfully correcting the standard story of China Jesuits as simple conduits for Western science Florence C. Hsia shows how these missionary-scientists remade themselves as they negotiated the place of the profane sciences in a religious enterprise." -publisher's blurb.

"Sean Scully born 1945 is one of the leading painters of our time. His successful career has been built on an apparently simple recipe of abstract painted stripes and bars in muted colours which despite their apparent simplicity and serentiy offer unsettlingly complex possibilities. His paintings are exhibited and collected by many major museums throughout the world from Canberra to Washington D.C." "This book brings together Scully's own writings for the first time and presents them alongside superb reproductions of the artist's paintings. The collection reveals Scully's sense of his position within modern painting and his understanding of and response to the artists whom he most admires. He discusses the circumstances that led him to become a painter; and outlines and expands on many of the themes that have engaged his art for the past twenty years."--Jacket. Contents as follows: Giorgio Morandi : Reisistance and persistence --; High and low or the sublime and the ordinary --; Van Gogh --; Diptych --; The argument --; The subject --; The wall --; Rothko : bodies of light --; On mythology abstraction and mystery --; Ian Stephenson : man of the north --; Liliane Tomasko : the third shore --; On photography --; On painting --; Landline --; Eva --; Interview with Eric Davies --; Yuendumu --; The Phillips Collection lecture.
