Chinese Art and Culture

By: Robert L. Thorp, Richard Ellis Vinograd

Lucid, authoritative, written with verve by two respected American scholars, this generously illustrated work provides an introduction to more than 7,000 years of Chinese art—from the pottery-making and jade-carving cultures of the Neolithic Age to contemporary Chinese artists working in video,installation, and performance media. By placing the arts in context—in active engagement with societies, economies, and wider fields of culture—the authors of this much-needed general survey introduce a dynamic and continually evolving tradition rather than a sequence of isolated museum masterpieces. Although the story of Chinese art unfolds chronologically, the authors introduce relevant themes for each era that will deepen the reader’s understanding of and appreciation for what they describe as arguably “the most abundantly productive, continuous artistic culture in the history of the world.”

Symbols of Japan : Thematic Motifs in Art and Design

By: Merrily C. Baird

In this indispensable guide to Japanese symbols, the author, Merrily Baird, offers the reader the most lucid study of the symbolism of Japan’s fine and applied arts in print today. Organized according to broad thematic categories, nearly every symbol is illustrated with fine examples of art and design from major public and private collections in the United States, Europe, and Japan. The book is organized to allow collectors of East Asian art and students of Japan to both research specific symbols and read broadly on such diverse topics as plants and flowers, animals of the land and sea, demons and deities, among others. As beautiful as it is informative, Symbols of Japan is destined to be the cornerstone of every art and design library.
