CHINESE ART AND CULTURE
- Used Book in Good Condition
Lucid, authoritative, written with verve by two respected American scholars, this generously illustrated work provides an introduction to more than 7,000 years of Chinese artâ‚¬"from the pottery-making and jade-carving cultures of the Neolithic Age to contemporary Chinese artists working in video,installation, and performance media.
By placing the arts in contextâ‚¬"in active engagement with societies, economies, and wider fields of cultureâ‚¬"the authors of this much-needed general survey introduce a dynamic and continually evolving tradition rather than a sequence of isolated museum masterpieces. Although the story of Chinese art unfolds chronologically, the authors introduce relevant themes for each era that will deepen the readerâ‚¬s understanding of and appreciation for what they describe as arguably â‚¬Å“the most abundantly productive, continuous artistic culture in the history of the world.â‚¬Â
