Abstract

Movable paintings from Dunhuang executed on silk or hemp are well represented by the major collections of the British Museum and the Musée Guimet and, to a lesser extent, by those of the National Museum of New Delhi, the Hermitage Museum at Saint Petersburg, and the National Museums of Seoul and Tokyo. The works on paper – painting, drawings, sketches, drafts, even graffiti, as well as illustrated manuscripts – are less well known.

The present study aims to remedy this oversight by presenting a significant selection drawn from the Stein and Pelliot collections. It opens with an examination of some representative traits of the Buddhist iconography of paintings on paper. This is followed by an essay on artistic practices and the numerous sketches and drafts often found traced on the back of manuscripts scrolls. A third article addresses the relationship between text and image by presenting a typology of illustrated manuscripts, of which more than a hundred exemplars are extant. Among these, a particular type of illustrated manuscript, the Sūtra on the Ten Kings, merited special attention. The work concludes with a study on the spontaneity emanating from the graffiti, rapidly drawn caricatures or sketches found here and there in the manuscripts.
