From Library Journal
Richly illustrated and full of factual information, this second of a three-volume series on Chinese art demonstrates once again the reassuring quality of scholarship exhibited in the "Pelican History of Art" series. Eloquently and cohesively presented, this book covers both expressive and decorative arts, including painting, ceramics, sculpture, towers, and temples, from the Song dynasty to the Ming dynasty, with a brief extension into Qing. Watson (emeritus, Chinese art and archaeology, Univ. of London) leads the reader on a journey that is both heavily loaded and pleasurable. Line drawings and elevations are especially helpful in summarizing the evolution of the various pictorial forms of each medium. Spectacular shapes of towers and domestic architectural forms captivate the reader's imagination. Heavily noted, indexed with a list of works consulted, and including a glossary, this book deserves a place in all art collections of public and academic libraries.DLucia S. Chen, NYPL

Book Description
Drawing upon and reviewing current Chinese and Japanese material available, as well as the western publications and interpretations, this text explores 800 years of Chinese arts comprehensively. Following styles and motifs as they developed within and across mediums, as well as from one geographical area to another, Watson considers architecture, painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts. The text is arranged by successive topics, defining period style, and aiming at satisfying the curiosity of those who meet Chinese art on a historical rather than an acquisitive level. The book aims to inform the student and the connoisseur.
