Hardback. Drs. Koos de Jong, Arnoldsche. Small China presents Chinese miniatures from 5,000 BCE up to the fifteenth century. The pocketsized representations of supernatural beings, people, animals, or everyday objects are virtually uncharted in East Asian crafts - even in China, these objects in jade, bronze, ivory, and porcelain are little known. Koos de Jong explores their arcane meanings and traces their production and the market for such treasures, which, contrary to official secular and religious art, include those devoted to taboo subjects such as erotica or humour. The miniatures had many different functions, from insignia, fetishes and devotional objects to burial gifts or toys. They could express good wishes or even serve as bribes. A rare glimpse into the everyday life of ordinary people and into Chinese handicrafts from thousands of years ago!Concluding his career as director of various Dutch museums and art institutions, art historian Dr. Koos de Jong is now committed entirely to the scientific research of Chinese art and archaeology. Following his publication on horse tack titled Dragon & Horse, he has explored yet another almost unknown subject with Small China. Hardback.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Small China präsentiert chinesische Miniaturen von 5.000 v. Chr. bis ins 15. Jahrhundert. Die handlichen Darstellungen von übernatürlichen Wesen, Menschen, Tieren oder Alltagsgegenständen sind ein bisher praktisch unerforschtes Sujet in der ostasiatischen Handwerkskunst - selbst in China sind die Objekte aus Jade, Bronze, Elfenbein und Porzellan wenig bekannt.Koos de Jong untersucht ihre geheime Bedeutung und verfolgt die Produktion und den Markt für die Preziosen, die sich im Gegensatz zur offiziellen säkularen und religiösen Kunst auch tabuisierten Themen wie Erotik oder Humor widmeten. Die Miniaturen hatten viele verschiedene Funktionen: von Insignien, Fetischen und Devotionalien bis hin zu Grabbeigaben oder Spielzeug. Sie konnten gute Wünsche ausdrücken oder sogar als Bestechungsgeschenke dienen.Ein seltener Einblick in das Alltagsleben der einfachen Leute und in das chinesische Kunsthandwerk von vor Tausenden von Jahren!
