Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Drawing on museum collections, archives, and archaeological sites in China, and other sources, the authors present and analyze the very best examples of Chinese painting over a span of some 3,000 years--from Neolithic painted petroglyphs, early paintings on silk, and landscapes by 12th century literati to traditional handscrolls produced today. Interesting for the general reader and revelatory for the scholar. 300 color and 25 b&w illustrations.


Review:

"The history of this exceptional art, its practitioners and their technique, and the metaphorical significance attributed to the artworks are all discussed in illuminating detail."

Kirkus, 10/01/1997
