Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The Art of the Dragon; Yang Xin, Li Yihua, Xu Naixiang; Shambhala, Boston, 1988.first edition. Copublished by The Commercial Press Ltd, Hong Kong Branch, and The Forbidden City Publishing House of the Palace Museum, Beijing, China. Designed and printed in Hong Kong. From the blurb The dragon has been a popular motif in the arts and crafts of China for thousands of years. Much loved as a bearer of good fortune, this magical creature symbolizes wisdom, virtue, and strength. This book presents a rich visual survey of dragon imagery as it appears in bronzes, jade, lacquerware, pottery and porcelain, painted silk, embroidered robes, carpets, furniture, and other art objects. Reproduced in full color, these works represent a priceless collection preserved in Beijing in the Forbidden City, which was once the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties and which is now the Palace Museum. Most of these reproductions are now published in the West for the first time. The 183 plates, reproducing 152 works of art, are divided into seven sections, spanning the centuries from the Shang to the Qing dynasty. The introductory chapter and captions, written by the research staff and specialists of the Palace Museum, note the distinctive style and characteristics of each period. These treasures of the Chinese cultural tradition beautifully illustrate the refinement and perfection of the dragon motif through the ages. This large book is in fine condition in a fine French-fold dust jacket, together in a near-fine box. This large volume may require additional postage.
