Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632-1717)
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 2008, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9780300141443). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text.; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 24 x 31.5 cm.; 1.6 Kg.; 248 pages with 265 illustrations, of which 81 in colour. Used with minor signs of wear on the exterior of the dust jacket and on the interior. Very good condition overall.; Catalogue from the exhibition "Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632-1717)", held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from September 9, 2008 through January 4, 2009.; Wang Hui, the most celebrated painter of late seventeenth-century China, played a key role both in reinvigorating past traditions of landscape painting and in establishing the stylistic foundations for the imperially sponsored art of the Qing court. Drawing upon his protean talent and immense ambition, Wang developed an all-embracing synthesis of historical landscape styles that constituted one of the greatest artistic innovations of late imperial China. This comprehensive study of the painter, the first published in English, features three essays that together consider his life and career, his artistic achievements, and his masterwork - the series of twelve monumental scrolls depicting the Kangxi emperor's Southern Inspection Tour of 1689. The first essay, by Wen C. Fong, closely examines Wang Hui's genius for "repossessing the past," his ability to engage in an inventive dialogue with previous masters and to absorb their stylistic personae while making works that were distinctly his own. Chin-Sung Chang next traces the entire trajectory of Wang's development as an artist, from his precocious youth in the village of Yushan, through growing local and national fame - first as a copyist, then as the creator of groundbreaking panoramic landscapes-to the ultimate confirmation of his stature with the commission to direct the Southern Inspection Tour project. Focusing on this extraordinary eight-year-long effort, Maxwell K. Hearn's essay discusses the contemporary sources for the scrolls, the working methods of Wang and his assistants (comparing drafts with finished versions), and the artistic innovations reflected in these imposing works, the extant examples of which measure more than two feet high and from forty-six to eighty-six feet long. Presented in this volume are twenty-seven of Wang Hui's major paintings, including two of the Southern Inspection Tour scrolls, drawn from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and from museums in Beijing, Taipei, Shanghai, the United States, and Canada. These are supplemented by a wealth of comparative images that range from ancient Chinese paintings and seventeenth-century woodblock maps to works by present-day artists. Invaluable information is provided by a scholarly catalogue, compiled by Shi-yee Liu, Research Associate in the Department of Asian Art at the Metropolitan Museum, which details the inscriptions, colophons, signatures, and seals of each work. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.

Jade Flowers and Floral Patterns in Chinese Decorative Art
The Chinese University of Hong Kong. 1969. Soft cover. Book, English text (includes summary in Chinese); Paperback; 19.2 x 26.7 cm; 0.585 Kg; 89 pages plus 48 pages of plates and 48 pages of figures. The plates and figures are in black and white.; Signs of wear on the cover, spine and back cover. The front and back cover are slightly rolling outwards. The interior has signs of wear but is in good condition.; "This paper is devoted to the study of a specialized group of carved jade flowers which is generally known as yu-hua in China. Most of the carvings are small in size, thin and light, and were originally used as units in jewelery or personal ornaments. The design of these small objects may seem simple, but the jade carvers have shaped them with great skill and understanding in their desire to make them attractive and impressive. Detached from the original ornamental works of bronze, silver or gold which were matched with pearls and other semi-precious stones, each remains an individual piece of art, full of subtle charm and beauty by itself. The majority are round in outline so they may be called appropriately "flower rosettes"." excerpt from the introduction. Good/No Jacket.

Ancient Tales and Folklore of China
Bracken Books. 1986. (ISBN: 1851700218). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 16,5 x 22,4 cm; 1,174 Kg; 454 pages with 32 colour illustrations. ; Facsmile of the original edition.; Used book with signs of wear. Minor signs of wear on the dust jacket, which is price clipped. Previous owner dedication and stamp on front free endpaper. The interior is in very good condition.; To the majority of the western world the land of China and its people remain a mystery: vast, unknown, incomprehensible. But China contains one of the finest civilisations of the world and has its own heroes, folk, tales and traditions as the western world has the legends of the Nibelungs and King Arthur.This wonderful book of China and her people was written in 1922 by Edward Werner. He spent many years as British Consul in Foochow and made a profound study of the Chinese. At the start of the book he gives a brief description of the Chinese people setting the tales in their social context. Then he narrates the creation myth according to the Chinese and goes on to explain the Chinese gods, how they came to power and how they rule. After that he tells all the main Chinese myths, those of the elements, the myths of the stars, the myths of thunder, lightning, wind and rain, the myths of water and fire. Then he tells the stories of the eight immortals, the Guardian of the Gates of heaven, the battle of the gods and how the monkey became a god. One of the main features of the tales of China is their purity. This is beautifully illustrated in the story of Shen I, the divine archer, whose wife, Heng O, stole his pill of immortality and was transformed into the toad who appears upon the face of the moon. Not only was Heng O spared but Shen I himself was granted immortality by the Gods and was sent to dwell in the solar palace and from that time onwards the sun and the moon each had their own ruling sovereign. It would be true to say that if the real test of greatness is purity and justice, then Chinese myth must be placed among the greatest of them all; for it is not obscene and it is invariably just.

Good readable copy.; New and revised version of "Chinese Art" published by Penguin Books in 1958 in two volumes, by the author William Willets.; "In preparing this version, I have tried to make the text more readable for the ordinary reader by cutting out much of the "medieval disputation" that kept invading the pages of Chinese Art, and perhaps also by lightening the style somewhat. I have incorporated some of the new archaeological discoveries of the past two decades, and particularly those which push the history of Chinese bronze art back two centuries ot the beginning of the Shang dynasty, about 1500 BC, and whoch show us its primitive autochthonous beginnings on Chinese soil; a fact previously discredited by so many Western scholars." excerpt from the foreword by the author in 1965.

Imperial Chinese Art Seven Centuries of Peking's Ancient Glory
Omega Books Limited, United Kingdom. 1983. (ISBN: 0907853617). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 21 x 27.5 cm; 1 Kg; 227 pages with 119 illustrations, 52 in colour; Used with minor signs of wear on the dust jacket. Interior as new.; Peking, the famous ancient capital of China, is without doubt one of the most fascinating places on earth. Imperial grandeur has here harnessed the finely attuned Chinese sense for colour and form. Over the course of a thousand years a city has grown up in which breath-taking vistas alternate with delicate corners of intimacy and elegance. Here temples of the great religions of Asia - Confucionism, Buddhism, Taoism - intermingle with the palaces, pagodas and pavillions of imperial pleasure and fantasy. Peking is indeed a unique city, and through this book the reader will gain a broad view of the history, art and architecture of one of the oldest existing centres of civilisation. With the aid of a wealth of illustrations, Lin Yutang conveys, in an intimate and personal matter, the sense of historical achievement which Peking represents. He also acquaints us with the people of Peking and takes us through the various periods which contributed towards making this city what it is today. Here one may find the key to Peking's fascination, a charm which is as elusive as it is inescapable. Imperial Chinese Art is illustrated not only with fine views of buildings, people and landscapes, but also with many reproductions of rare art objects, paintings, sculptures, porcelain, jade and lacquer. These are arranged in chronological order, starting with an eight-century painting and bringing the story up the eighteenth century. Lin Yutang's text is supplemented by an essay on Chinese art, with particular reference to Peking, and a discussion of the reproductions included in the book, by Peter C, Swann, former Keeper of the Department of Eastern Art in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
