The most prominent constitutional monarchist who served as Emperor Guangxu’s advisor during the Hundred Days Reform of 1898 he has been discussed in previous scholarship largely as a political figure. Less well known are his achievements in calligraphy and calligraphy theory he wrote the most comprehensive and widely-read guide to the Stele School in his day as well as his efforts in making art a powerful instrument for national transformation. He advocated East-West synthesis especially the adoption of Renaissance plasticity and Song Dynasty-style verisimilitude. This book evaluates his extensive and controversial impact on pictorial realism in a variety of genres: human figures horses landscapes and bird-and-flower subjects the last developing in close step with Japanese trends. Besides providing an objective assessment of his legacy in the art world The Other Kang Youwei offers a rare integrated treatment of Chinese calligraphy painting and art theory of the twentieth century.
