5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Quality, 28 Dec 2002

By	Mr Owen J D Brown (Edinburgh, Lothian, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This is probably the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to Chinese painting around, conveying much of the beauty, variety and richness of landscape, figure, bird and flower painting. It charts the course of painting in China from the prehistoric to the present. If there is anything one needs to discover about Chinese art then one can be almost certain to find it here. As a student studying Chinese art, it is an indispensible guide, and for more general readers it will provide an in-depth knowledge. It is a very accesible book, made even more so by the hundreds of magnificent colour images and a particularly readable narrative. Fantastic quality!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book, 24 April 2008

By	Avid Reader "Venus" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Three Thousand Years of Chinese Painting (Culture & Civiization of China) (Hardcover)

I bought this for a chinese friends birthday and it is a wonderfully informative and beautiful book for anyone who loves/is studying chinese art. (or both!)
Even if you don't want to sit down and digest everything, (it would take a long time) it is at the very least a fabulous coffee table aquisition!
I would reccomend it highly.
