While playing them for a gathering of friends, the poet Konstantin Balmont wrote a sonnet which entitled Mimolyotnosti which Kira Nikolayevna would translate as Visions fugitives. Inspired by these dazzling miniatures, I have assembled a jewel box containing twenty individual felt-tip drawings on watercolor paper capturing fugitive visions of China. For a country that has of late been focused on the future, I have been fascinated by the search for a true contemporary regional language in traditional Chinese architecture and painting. The intricate and careful composition in relation to landscape and light has been a continual revelation, as evidenced by the Summer Palace on the outskirts of Beijing and vanishing water towns such as Zhujiajiao, known as the \"Venice of Shanghai.\" \"In every fugitive vision I see worlds filled with the changing play of rainbows.\" Konstantin Balmont\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e José Gelabert-Navia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946226564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946226563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 9.40w x 1.00d","brand":"José Gelabert-Navia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445944168703,"sku":"9781946226563","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2786ccec-9062-4ba9-b168-86c3b362a8b8.jpg?v=1777221657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/china-joszs-gelabert-navia-9781946226563","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
