《画家、港口与利润：东印度公司时期的艺术家，1750–1850》依托耶鲁英国艺术中心丰富的馆藏，以批判性的视角重新审视了在商业无情驱动的时代里，印度、中国与英国艺术家之间蓬勃的创作交流。

《画家、港口与利润：东印度公司时期的艺术家，1750–1850》讲述了在历史上最冷酷无情的强大公司之一崛起之际，与之相伴的非凡艺术交流的故事。关于这一时期的学术研究，常常将印度、中国和英国的艺术家分而论之；而《画家、港口与利润》则聚焦于他们创作实践中至关重要的互动。艺术家们对纸张、颜料和其他材料进行艺术实验，创作出令人惊叹且丰富多样的作品。在全新题材与技法的驱使下，这些艺术家——其中许多已不为人知——对亚洲内外乃至更广范围的视觉与物质文化产生了深远影响。

本书由策展人劳雷尔·O·彼得森与霍莉·沙弗编辑，收录了逾百件主要源自耶鲁英国艺术中心馆藏的珍品，包括建筑草图、光润的不透明水彩画、手工上色的凹版蚀刻版画、大小不一的肖像画，以及一幅描绘勒克瑙城的、长达三十七英尺的壮观卷轴画。一个由国际学者、策展人及文物修复专家组成的研究团队，基于最新研究成果，为本书提供了丰富的评述。

 

 

Draws on the Yale Center for British Art’s rich collection to critically reconsider the vibrant creative exchanges between artists in India, China, and Britain during a period ruthlessly driven by commerce

Painters, Ports, and Profits: Artists and the East India Company, 1750–1850 tells the story of the remarkable creative exchanges that coincided with the rise of one of the most ruthless and powerful corporations in history. Scholarship on this period often separates Indian, Chinese, and British artists; Painters, Ports, and Profits instead foregrounds the vital interactions between their practices. Artistic experimentation with papers, pigments, and other materials produced works of astonishing beauty and variety. Compelled by new subjects and techniques, these artists, many now unknown, had a profound effect on visual and material culture within and beyond Asia.

Edited by curators Laurel O. Peterson and Holly Shaffer, Painters, Ports, and Profits features more than one hundred objects drawn primarily from the Yale Center for British Art’s collection, including architectural drafts, burnished opaque watercolors, hand-colored aquatints, small and large-scale portraits, and a spectacular thirty-seven-foot-long scroll depicting the city of Lucknow. An international group of scholars, curators, and conservators provide rich commentary based on new research.
