These corrections are minimal and do not substantially affect the usefulness of the first printing. Since 1984 when the Index was first issued, some artists have been assigned to institutions other than those listed in their biographies; some have died. Unfortunately, it is impossible in such a reprint to revise or augment the artists biographies. For updated biographical data, users of the Index are urged to consult the following publications.

ELLEN JOHNSTON LAING Ann Arbor September 1997 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the past four decades, studies in Chinese painting history have been greatly aided by the major lists of Chinese artists and their works published by Osvald Sirn in 1956-1958 (Annotated Lists of Chinese Paintings in his Chinese Painting; Leading Masters and Principles , vols, II and VII), supplemented by myself in 1969 ( Chinese Paintings in Chinese Publications 1956-1965 ), and again augmented and updated (through the Yan period) by James Cahi11 in 1980 ( An Index of Early Chinese Painters and Paintings; Tang, Sung, Yan ). These lists were limited to Imperial China.

Although the past ten years have witnessed an increasing interest in twentieth-century Chinese painting, no lists comparable to those by Siren-Laing-Cahill have been compiled. To be sure, for information about artists we have had access to Michael Sullivans eleven-page A Biographical Index of Modern Chinese Artists (Appendix II in his Chinese Art in the Twentieth Century ) and Tsurutas considerably lengthier (fifty pages) Chinese Painters of the Last One Hundred Years which appeared (in Japanese) in the art journal Bijutsu Kenky between 1974 and 1976. In neither case, however, did the authors provide sources where artistss works are illustrated. The present INDEX covers the period from 1912 to around 1980. It includes the names of approximately 3500 traditional-style artists along with lists of their works, reproduced in some 264 monographs, books, journals and catalogues published from the 1920s to around 1980 (with some entries from publications as recent as 1982). Much of the compiling of this INDEX was carried out in libraries at Ihe University of Michigan, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Oregon, I am grateful to the staff members of these libraries, all of whom cheerfully expedited my labor in ways large and small.

At the University of Michigan: Wan Wei-ying, Head of the Asia Library, and Takahashi Haruki; at the University of California, Berkeley: Richard S. Cooper, Acting Head of the East Asiatic Library, and Ruthella Pfeiffer, Neely Karl Slinkard, and Chang Pai-yan; at the University of Oregon: Kung Wei-kai, Chinese Cataloguer and Bibliographer. Professor James Cahill was a constant source of encouragement. In addition, a number of colleagues, associates, and students are to be thanked for lending me books or supplying information or otherwise being helpful in ways Im sure they might consider inconsequential or have even forgotten: Professors Esther Jacobson, Maribeth Graybill, and Daphne Lange Rosenzweig; Arnold Chang and S. J. Edgren; Judy Andrews, Han Hsin, Carmelita Hinton, Karen Meyers, Barbara Yuan-fang Tung, Ye Wa and Carrie Warra.

Special thanks are extended to Ching Man Sze who undertook the task of the final checking of the lists for major artists, to Andrea Gendler Grant who unsnarled the Collaborative Works List and the List of Alternate Names, to Robin M. Cochran who helped immeasurably with the proofreading of the manuscript, and to Jian-dong Day who inserted the hand-written characters. Iheir unflagging perserverance and meticulousness is much appreciated, as is their dependable good humor which made a tedious job less so. The support of Wilmot G. Gilland, Dean of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon and the able assistance of Karen Johnson, Mary Williams, Bobbi Squires, Amy Isler and William Burke is gratefully acknowledged here. The Maude I.

Kerns Oriental Art Endowment provided funds for assistance in this project, and the University of Oregon graciously permitted me a leave of absence in 1982-1983 to ready the INDEX for publication. GUIDE TO THE INDEX The major portion of the INDEX lists traditional-style artists and their published paintings. With a few exceptions, artists working after 1949 outside continental China are excluded. The list is arranged alphabetically by artists name, followed by brief biographical information (when known) and a list of the artists paintings reproduced in monographs, books, journals and catalogues. Artists biographies ; the artists name is followed by (when known): alternate names including tzu (t.) and hao (h.); dates of birth and death; birthplace; art education; some of the art associations of which the artist was a member; teachers; subject specialities; and present professional affiliation. The primary sources for biographical information are identified by code (see Key to Sources Used for Biographical Information); other sources of biographical data, usually the publication in which paintings appear, are indicated by the short title (see Short Titles and Bibliography of Books and Journals Indexed).
