Fine & Curious. Japanese Export Porcelain in Dutch Collections

Hotei Publishing, Amsterdam. 2003, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9074822169). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 25.5 x 30 cm; 2.3 Kg; 304 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used book with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; An enduring witness to Dutch-Japanese relations is Arita export porcelain made for the Dutch market in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was instrumental in ordering and distributing a diversity of export wares. Private trade also played and important role. This resulted in the importation of large amounts of Japanese porcelain into The Netherlands, particularly during a period when Chinese porcelain was unavailable. These objects were assimilated into Dutch life and stimulated the interest in exotica from the Orient. While many of the exquisite pieces have been lost over time, numerous examples are still preserved in public and private collections in The Netherlands. In Fine and Curious, Dr. Jorg discusses the variety of export ware and the extraordinary pieces in those collections, many of which are published here for the first time. This survey offers a fascinating insight into a relatively unknown aspect of Dutch-Japanese interaction and is the first book of its kind devoted to giving an overall view of a country's collection in this field.

The Garrett Collection. Japanese Art: Lacquer, Inro, Netsuke

Dauphin Publishing Limited, London. 1993, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 1872357075). Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover (without dust jacket).; 25 x 32 cm; 2.4 Kg; 325 pages with colour and black and white illustrations throughout.; Used book. Interior as new. Signs of wear on the hardcover cloth. Lacks the dust jacket.; "The Garrett Collection of Japanese Lacquer, inrõ, and netsuke offers an unusual research opportunity. As a virtually undisturbed first-generation collection, one of the few in the United States, one gains valuable insights into the collecting habits of one family. Also, light is shed on the availability of certain objects in the late nineteenth century, contemporary opinions and attributions to both the authorship and date of manufacture, as well as sense of the general level of knowledge held by Westerners about the Orient. The extensive holdings of mask netsuke alone afford one not only the opportunity to compare the nuances of the masks to one another, but also to their models, the traditional Japanese theatre mask. All pertinent information from the Garrett archives has been entered as part of each catalogue entry. Moreover, to facilitate comparisons with other published artists or objects, modern references have been supplied as well. Since this book´s inception, it has been our aim to bring the Garrett Collection of Japanese art and its associate papers and accounts to light as an entity. The publication of a first-generation collection, intact with packing boxes, silk pouches, shipping crates and correspondence, we felt would make an important contribution to the study of Japanese Art, especially as collected by an American. We have always thought that modern collectors who possess objects similar to those in the Garrett Collection would particularly appreciate knowing the background of those pieces. And knowing when certain objects were purchased or first recorded as being at Evergreen House can be a particularly useful dating tool for collectors and scholars alike. We have sought to provide the readers with an objective view and description of the art. We have also sought to give the reader through numerous references, a key that will further explain our attributions and descriptions. We hope that our research will help to shed new light on some overlooked subjects. The Garretts were a special family, able to use their wealth, interests, and knowledge in a way which would benefit others. It is our hope that we have succeeded in furthering this philosophy." from the foreword. Good/No Jacket.

From each of these periods, too, come examples of superb craftmanship for which Japan is famous: the gilt bronzes of the Asuka period, the lacquers of the Heian and Muromachi period, the famous work sculptures of the Kamakura period, the wonderful ceramics from Kutani and Nabeshima with their bird and flower designs, the fantastic range of calligraphy throughout the ages and the mysterious earthenware and bronzes figures of the Jomon, Yayoi and Kofun periods.

The Last Tosa: Iwasa Katsumochi Matabei, Bridge to Ukiyo-E

University of Hawai's Press, Honolulu. 1999, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9780824818265). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket).; 21.5 x 24 cm.; 1.4 Kg.; 412 pages with black and white and colour illustrations.; Used with minor signs of wear on the exterior and interior.; Iwasa Katsumochi Matabei (1578 - 1650) is one of the most controversial figures in Japanese art history. For more than half a century, historians have argued over Matabei's role in Japanese art: Was he, as he asserted, "The Last Tosa" (the school of painters specialized in Yamato-e, a kind of classical courtly painting) or, as others characterized him, "The Founder of Ukiyo-e", the style of painting associated with the urban commoner class. In this highly original and convincing study, Matabei emerges as both - an artist in whose work can be seen elements of both Yamato-e and Ukiyo-e. Extending its analysis beyond the individual artist, The Last Tosa examines the trends and artistic developments of a transitional period and makes heretofore unexamined connections between the world of the aristocrat and the merchant as well as the two artistic schools that reflected their tastes. It addresses these larger issues by identifying Matabei as a member of a social group known as machischu. Excerpts from noblemen's diaries, an investigation of the etymology of machischu, and an analysis of art by its members, indicate that machischu included both commoners and ghe gentry, thus revealing a rich tradition of egalitarianism - an important departure from the conventionally held belief that seventeenth-century Japan's urban society was rigidly stratified. Throughout, the author challenges current interpretations of seventeenth-century genre painting and classical art. He suggests that the revival of classical court culture during the Momoyama period was not brought about by the aristocrat's nostalgia for the past warriors' desire for prestige and social acceptance but stemmed instead from the very real and immediate desire of machischu for art that reflected their tastes and responded to their needs. Ukiyo-e then is not the invention of chonin (commoners) of the new capital of Edo, as has long been held, but the result of a lengthy artistic development that begun among the court painters of the old capital of Kyoto - an idea elegantly expressed in the author's notion of The Worlds of Ukiyo-e: the Sorrowful World of machischu and the Floating World of chonin. The Last Rosa provides and exhaustive study of Matabei's paintings, including all his important works and key attributions. Translations of all documents available on Matabei are given, in particular his travel diary, a unique source, the only known example of such a text by seventeenth century classical painter. With its fusion of cultural history with political, social, and economic history, this sophisticated study will appeal not only to art historians, but also to students of history, anthropology, and culture studies interested in questions of group identify and the political uses of culture.

Tracing the Past, Drawing the Future: Master Ink Painters in Twentieth-Century China

5 Continents Editions, Milan. 2010. (ISBN: 9788874395385). Hardcover. Book, English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 25 x 31.5 cm.; 2.8 Kg.; 440 pages with colour illustrations throughout. Used with minor signs of wear on the exterior of the hardcover. Interior with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall.; Catalogue from the exhibition held at Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts, Stanford University, California from February 17 to July 4, 2010.; Tracing the Past, Drawing the Future examines a crucial point in the development of Chinese ink painting represented by the beautiful and innovative work of four artists, Wu Changshuo (1844-1927), Qi Baishi (1864-1957), Huang Binhong (1865-1955), and Pan Tianshou (1897-1971). With careers spanning more than a century of radical social and political change in China, these artists were instrumental in driving the ancient tradition of Chinese ink painting into the modern era in the face of compelling Western influences. The lavish catalogue iluminates the context in which these artists worked, describes their overall contribution on the history of Chinese art, and highlights their individual ideas and achievements. Xiaoneng Yang defines the historical context in which modern Chinese painting developed, while Richard Vinograd analyses the "alternative modernism" represented by these artists, each of whom worked in the brush-an-ink idiom. All four artists engaged to a greater or lesser degree with Western styles and media, and gave new life to cherished traditions through this engagement. Essays devoted to each artist are followed by individual entries discussing the works chosen to exemplify their achievements. Featuring more than one hundred works of painting and calligraphy by the four artists, the book also includes several portraits by Ren Yi (1840-1895), appendices transcribing the works' inscriptions and seals, a concordance, and a detailed bibliography.

Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, U.S.A. 1912, 1st Edition. Hardcover. Book, English text.; Hardcover; 16.5 x 23.5 cm.; 1.5 Kg ; 370 pages with 68 plates, 6 of which in colour and 204 text figures.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. Some yellowing throughout. Sticker glued to bottom of the interior back cover.; Publication 154 of Field Museum of Natural History, Anthropological Series, Volume X. The Mrs. T. B. Blackstone Expedition.; "At the close of the year 1907 the Field Museum honored me with the task of carrying on research and making collections in Tibet and China for a period of three years, extending from 1908 too 1910, under and endowment liberally provided by Mrs. T. B. Blackstone. The results of the expedition, accordingly, cover two distinct fields - and ethnological collection bearing on Tibet and neighboring regions, inclusive of an abundance of material relative to Lamaism (paintings, images, masks, objects of the cult), and an extensive collection illustrating the archaeology of China. The latter has been planned in such a way as to afford an insight into the development of all phases of life in China's past. In conformity with the tendency of this Institution, this group of collections is not by any means intendend to illustrate the development of art but of culture in China. The results of the work on Tibet are designed to be brought out in six volumes. It has been proposed to work up the Chinese material in a series of monographs, the first instalment of which is this publication. The mortuary clay figures, the bronze and iron age of China, Buddishm stone sculpture, are the subjects comtemplated for the next issues. This volume does not pretend to be a contribution to sinology. Its general scope is explained in the Introduction. Written, in the first place, to furnish the necessary information on the jade collection ion the Field Museum, it applies to students of archaeology and religion in that it furnishes a great deal of new material and research on the early development of religious and artistic thought in ancient China. All specimens, with the exception of the jade book on Plate XVI, are in the Field Museum and form part of the Mrs. T. B. Blackstone collection.

Netsuke & Inro Artists, and How to Read Their Signatures (2 Volumes)

Reed Publishers, U.S.A. 1982, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 091706402x). Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth without dust jacket - as issued); 23 x 29 cm; 5.63 Kg; 2 volumes with 1376 pages, with black and white images, except 22 colour pages on volume 1 with selected pieces from the collection of George & Verna Lazarnick.; Used books with signs of wear, namely some yellowing on the outside text block. Interior with signs of wear namely some underlining and writing throughout. Both volumes are protected with clearcovers, that show signs of wear, namely the one on volume 1, that is slightly damaged on top. Good condition overall. Includes loose correspondence from the art historian and curator William Wilberforce Winkworth, a.k.a. Billy Winkworth (1897-1991).; "The first logically organized approach to the problem of helping a collector identify an unknown signature was made in 1976 by Mr. Lazarnick when he wrote and assembled The Signature Book of Netsuke, Inro and Ojime Artists in Photographs. This was a methodically planned reference work containing and extraordinary amount of detailed information on these artists presented in such a manner that even a neophyte collector could soon learn how to read signatures and identify artists. This present book, Netsuke and Inro Artists and How to Read Their Signatures is an outgrowth of his first work but can only be compared in part since the information now included is far more comprehensive and better arranged, while the number of photographs reproduced is enormously greater. The material gathered by Mr. Lazarnick is staggering in its volume. For example he reproduces five and one-half times as many kahihan as the one hundred in Joly's Behrens Collections. He photographed netsuke, inro and their signatures and collected information from 23 museums, countless collectors, dealers and auction houses, and extracted material from just about all of the books on the subject in several languages including Japanese." excerpt from the foreword by C.V.S.

ASHTON, LEIGH AND GRAY, BASIL

Chinese Art

Faber and Faber Limited, London. 1935, 1st Edition. Hardcover. Book, English text.; Hardcover (without dust jacket); 17 x 25 cm; 1.1 Kg; 397 with black-and-white illustrations thoughout.; Used book with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. Ex-libris stamped on the rear of the front cover. Good readable copy.; "We do not aim in this book at doing more than supply a very short introduction to the history of Chinese Art and a series of illustrations of each period of that history. Such is the long and complicated development of the various branches of the Arts which have thrived in China, that it would not be possible in a hundred and forty plates to give anything but the briefest glimpse of a civilization which has so many sides, and our selection of those plates must therefore be arbitrary and leave many gaps. In the same way our introductory essay only skims the surface of the subject, though the notes to the plates contain more detailed supplementary information. But the arrangement of so many Western museum having been based on a principle of division by material, and the system of all books on Chinese Art written in English having hitherto followed that principle, we have thought it worth while to put together a sequence of illustrations by periods; for there can be no question but that the appreciation of the culture of a particular epoch depends, to a large extent, on the inter-relation of the various branches of Art, and their dependence on the intellectual and material standards of that epoch. It is easier, therefore, to get some insight into the importance of the particular period, with which one is concerned, by a small group of plates showing picked pieces of the highest quality in every branch of the Arts, than by having to pursue the thread of one's investigation through a series of chapters dealing with various materials. Our selection has been governed to a certain extent by the fact that there are no coloured plates in this book. The examples of Sung ceramics, for instance, have been chosen primarily with a view to their form, and it is for this reason that the tz'u chou wares are more strongly represented than their more aristocratic cousins the chun, ko or kuan yao, while the most famous of all, ju yao, does not appear at all. For the same reason we have reproduced very few jades and no example of eighteenth-century self colour porcelain. The selection of paintings and the accompanying notes are by Mr. Basil Gray; of the remainder and their notes by Mr Leigh Ashton; in the introductory matter the same division holds good." excerpt from the preface.

Chinese Export Art: In the Eighteenth Century

Spring Books, Middlesex. 1967. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 25.7 x 19 cm; 0.600 Kg; 152 pages with black-and-white illustrations; Used book with signs of wear, namely some yellowing on the outside text block and on the front and rear free endpaper. Minor signs of wear in the interior. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; Chinese fine arts found a "sellers market" in eighteenth-century Europe. Fashionable caprice demanded that the great houses of the day should boast, if not a Chinese Room, then at least a collection of Chinese porcelains, lacquer goods, ivories, silks, and wall papers. This fascinating book gives a detailed and very well documented account of the China trade, in which Britain and the merchants of her East India Company eclipsed all other European nations. The authors, both expert authorities on antiques and ceramics, discuss changing European tastes in Chinese goods and show how the Chinese production of goods especially for the European market had a profound influence on design and decoration, particularly in England and France. Much of the book is the result of original research, the authors having studied the diaries, journals, letters, bills and export orders of many merchants and travellers. The comprehensive collection of black and white illustrations shows examples of Chinese fine arts in many private collections in England as well as in the priceless collections of the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.; "A handsome volume dealing with a subject that has suffered from a strange neglect. Admirably illustrated." review from The Literary Supplement. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

Goods from the East, 1600-1800: Trading Eurasia

Palgrave Macmillan. 2015. (ISBN: 9781137403933). Hardcover.

McCants; Leos Muller; Ghulam A. Nadri; Chris Nierstrasz; Om Prakash; Olivier Raveux; Wouter Ryckbosch, Dagmar Schafer; Tijl Vanneste; Xu Xiaodong.; The imperative of the long-distance seaborne trade of Europeans, from the age of exploration, was to acquire the goods of the exotic East - the silks, porcelain and tea of China, the spices of the Spice Islands and the textiles of India. Goods from the East focuses on the trade in fine products: how they were made, marketed and distributed between Asia and Europe. This trade was conducted by East India Companies and many private traders, and the first Global Age that resulted deeply affected European consumption and manufacturing. This book provides a full comparative and connective study of Asia's trade with a range of European countries. Its themes relate closely to issues of fine manufacturing and luxury goods in the current age of globalization. Goods from the East brings together established scholars, such as Jan de Vries, Om Prakash and Jos Gommans with a new generation of researchers, who together look into the connections between European consumer cultures and Asian trade.
