"""The Chinese Artist Grows Old: Aging and Creativity is a significant addition to the growing literature on the intersection of art and aging. It concisely introduces a diverse range of artists-spanning almost one thousand years-and provides rich context by drawing on contemporaneous literature. Generously illustrated, it is a welcome contribution that will support the development of a more international perspective on the idea of late artistic style."" -Peter L. Doebler, Kettering Curator of Art, Dayton Art Institute ""In The Chinese Artist Grows Old: Aging and Creativity, Jason Kuo has written, with tremendous erudition and critical insight, a fascinating account of how Chinese artists-poets, calligraphers, and painters-from the imperial past to our own time strive to create works of art as they age, often overcoming illness and many other associated difficulties. The book is a major contribution to the current debates in art history and literary studies on late and old-age style."" -Hanwei Wang, Professor of Art History, Nanjing Normal University; author of Studies on the Calligraphy of Dunhuang Documents in the Southern Dynasties"
