Book Description Condition: Sehr gut. 95 S. Einband leicht berieben. - With contributions by Robyn Maxwell, Christine Dixon, Michael Desmond, Jane Kinsman and Jeni Allenby. - The context of art varied greatly across Asia. Some images were worshipped in temples or used as aids in visualisation during meditation. Certain textiles and masks were worn by important personages during ritual performances; other textiles were used as backdrops for such performances. Early royal patrons in China ordered a remarkable range of goods to be buried in their tombs for use in the afterlife; later Indian kings ordered historical paintings that bolstered the legitimacy of their rule on earth. In all these circumstances the philosophical, social and political function of art took precedence over any notion of personal expression on the part of the artist, who often worked within strictly codified systems of iconography and composition. Nevertheless, in certain periods artists did obtain great personal fame and were widely recognised for their individual styles (and their work was often copied and imitated). It is only in this century that the actual personality of the individual artist has emerged as a major factor in the making of art in Asia.
