Art in China (Oxford History of Art)

It's a gift for my friend and she says she likes it and the book is very helpful. I think it's good, too.

don't like it, there are many better art history books on China out there.

I am sataisfyI love the book, great condition. thank you. nothing to complain very very good quality. It would be my pleasure to read it.

Was completely satisfied with the book and shipping.

okay

I love this product! It has everything I needed without any problems. It came at the time I was expecting it!

I bought this book for my Art History class. I barely opened this book because the concepts were confusing. The pictures were of decent quality, but there were very few of them. I would prefer an art book to have more pictures.

The book arrived quickly and was in very good shape. Shipper did what they promised to do, and I am very pleased.

This is a very good introduction to the topic. It provides a critical survey of various art forms that were produced in China, putting it in context.He looks at the various places where art was produced such as tombs,temples,courts and market place. This is important as many times we see artworks from china displayed in museums and private collections without knowing who commissioned them or how they were produced. The book also look at art that is not classically thought of as from china. It also consider the art forms that the chinese people liked such calligraphy. It provide an updated review of the art up to the 20 century.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gives a clear introduction to the topic, is well set out and written in an engaging manner. I've come away feeling that I have learnt a lot, and am inspired to delve deeper into the topic. A great first book for anyone wanting to get a sense of art in China.

The cover is torn in various places and the whole book is twisted

Un gran libro para ampliar la visión sobre el arte chino, difuminada y lejana que tenemos muchos de nosotros. Esta estructurado de una forma muy personal por el autor y profesor. Los capitulos desgranan como evolucionan los artes chinos, desglosando los ambientes en los que se mueven: las élites, la corte, el mercado,...Bien maquetado, las fotografias que le acompañan punteando y apoyando el texto, estan bien hechas y elegidas. Dan un ambiente que ayuda a su lectura.Esta bien escrito y ameno. Da para mas de una lectura y es pieza de consulta si nos aficionamos más.

Une bonne introduction à la richesse de la culture chinoise dont on ignore presque tout en Europe. Quelques anecdotes fascinantes sur les influences européens sur l'art chinois.
