Vellum cover Bronze Jade Sculpture Ceramics By Daisy Lion-GoldschmidtMusee Guimet ParisJean-Claude Moreau-GobardTranslated by Diana Imber, With a foreword by George Savage Chinese Art - Bronze - Jade - Sculpture - CeramicsText by Daisy Lion-Goldschmidt, Musee Guimet, ParisJean-Claude Moreau-Gobard, Paris Here are presented some of the finest Chinese works of art covering a period of approximately 4000 years; the bronzes interpreting in their mysterious and fascinating manner the religious trends of this period; the precious jade coupling the perfection of diligent craftsmanship with the charms of its semi-sacred quality. These two materials were also used by sculptors and some of the finest masterpieces of Chinese sculpture shown here are executed in jade or bronze, although the importance of other materials is no ignored. Finally, there are the ceramics, religious figures and porcelains with their delicate, mythical creatures and floral designs which play so important a role in an understanding of Chinese art and culture. Thus the primary interest of this book is the works of art themselves. The reproductions have been taken almost exclusively from objects in private collections. Many of them have never been reproduced before; others only in specialized magazines or catalogues. Chinese Arts is an authoritative and impressive addition to studies on the art of the Orient. 428 pages, 65 color plates, 133 photo-engravings with complete and detailed descriptions, a chronological table of Chinese dynasties and a bibliography.
