Class textbook on the huge topic of Asian Art. One of the four sections is devoted to Indian and Indonesian art, which gives a good look at temple architecture and an idea on the forms of the different styles of Indian art. Good for learning the basics of Indian art, but no so much for garb or a particular time and place.
Catalogue for a loan exhibition of Chinese landscape paintings, held at The Cleveland Museum of Art 1954.
The exhibition includes paintings from the Sung, Yuan, and Ming and Ch'ing Dynasties, as well as the Individualists.
The exhibition includes paintings from the Sung, Yuan, and Ming and Ch'ing Dynasties, as well as the Individualists.
Now out of print, this is a fantastic book on Japanese design.
