Product Description
Product Description
At a time when interest in China has never been greater, this revised edition of Mary Tregear's survey of the Chinese visual arts should be welcomed by art lovers, students and travellers alike. Generously illustrated and readable, it covers not only bronzes, jades, calligraphy and painting, but also Buddhist sculpture, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, lacquer, garden design and architecture. For the revised edition, all Chinese names, places, and terms have been romanized to current international usage. Throughout, information has been updated in view of recent finds, and the book contains new illustrations, a revised introduction and a new final chapter on 20th-century art. A chronology of Chinese historical periods is included, together with six maps.

A Journey to the East, 5 April 2000
By David Kirchner II - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chinese Art (World of Art) (Paperback)
If you, like millions of westerners, have found within yourself an intense curiosity for, and resonance with, the orient, but have been intimidated by the breadth of the subject matter, this book is an excellent way to "get your feet wet." Tregear wrote Chinese Art for the interested reader, not for art critics. Her book is scholarly, insightful, and very engaging. She has done well to write not only about painting and sculpture, but about landscaping, architecture and textiles as well, offering the reader a truly comprehensive survey of this magnificent artistic tradition.
