Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. "For more than 3,000 years the works of Chinese sculptors, painters and potters have been prized by art-lovers, though copying and indiscriminate collector-mania has made it difficult for the uninitiated to distinguish the genuine article from the worthless. In this authoritative and highly readable book an eminent scholar and collector traces the course of the Chinese creative genius in its many varied forms, from the splendid bronzes and glazed earthenware objects of the Chou and Han Dynasties, through the golden age of architecture and painting under the T'ang Emperors, down to the great era of Ming ivory, jade and porcelain. The techniques and objectives of artists and craftsmen are vividly described, and their achievements assessed in relation to the social and political background of their age. In terms of quality as well as sheer volume the Chinese contribution to the arts is without parallel." --- With 7 Colour Plates and 70 black and white illustrations. --- Originally Published 1958 by Hutchinson & Co., Ltd. This, First Edition Thus. --- Original dark grey papered boards, lettered gilt on spine (20 cm height). Illustrated dustwrapper, small (1.2 cm height) tear to back lower edge, now protected.
