Book Description
Asiaweek
Sullivan explores this background so deftly and relevantly that the arts, as an expression of the times in which they took shape, come vibrantly alive.
From the Back Cover
"From the Neolithic to the avant-garde, and through all
the brilliant centuries in between, Michael Sullivan's newly revised introduction to Chinese art history is unmatched in its clarity, balance, and sure grasp of the subject. Whether for the classroom student or the casual reader, its remarkable range and
elegant style make this book a wonderful way for anyone to begin learning about Chinese art." -Jerome Silbergeld, Professor of Art History, University of Washington, and author of Chinese Painting Style "A concise, comprehensive, and highly readable
overview of Chinese art extending from its Neolithic roots down to its modern engagement with the West."-Maxwell Hearn, Curator of Chinese Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and author of Splendors of Imperial China "I have used this text in my class for
thirty years. With full revisions and additions reflecting recent archaeology and art historical scholarship, the fourth edition will continue to be the best one-volume history of Chinese art in the English language. No other historian of Chinese art
today commands such a wide range of knowledge as Michael Sullivan."-Richard Barnhart, John M. Schiff Professor of the History of Art, Yale University, and editor of Three Thousand Years of Chinese Painting "This is the most comprehensive study of Chinese
art, giving up-to-date information from the Stone Age to the twentieth century. Professor Michael Sullivan is a leading scholar in this field, and this is an indispensable textbook for all students of Asian art history." -Wang Qingli, Professor of
Chinese Art History, University of Hong Kong, and author of A History of Nineteenth-Century Chinese Art
