This volume cover a vast range of Chinese art from painting to sculpture and calligraphy to ceramics. Each chapter (of which there are six) deals with the genre or medium of art individually and with a wealth of pictures charts its development.

This is one of the clearest and most accessible introductory studies to the vast field of Chinese art available; it causes the reader to simultaneously want to visit both China and the British Museum where the collections portrayed are displayed.

The book is itself a thing of beauty that lives as well as the bronzes it depicts.… (altro)
