Few countries boast a more glorious artistic heritage than China. For over four thousand years the Chinese artist has found distinctive expression for his innate genius, whether in magnificent ceramics, bronzes, and jades, or in exquisite ink paintings and calligraphy.
Lively text and lavish illustrations distinguish this introduction to the major decorative, ceremonial, figurative, and narrative aspects of Chinese art. Mary Tregear follows its development from the works of pre-literate Neolithic groups to the hieratic bronzes of the Shang Dynasty, from the intricate decorative techniques of the Han Dynasty to the sophisticated landscape painting of the prestigious scholar-painters, whose influence continues to dominate Chinese art today. In addition, the book shows how poetry, painting, and calligraphy worktogether with other arts like ceramics, jade carving, garden design, and domestic architecture to form an aesthetic balance in Chinese art as a whole.
