About This Item
Oxford: Phaidon Press Ltd, 1979 64 color and black-and-white reproductions. Political and social upheaval accompany China's emergence from centuries of dynastic rule into the 20th century, and her painters reflected these changing values and circumstances. And yet the ancient traditions were ever present and modern Chinese painting flourishes still dependent upon styles and techniques that have been established over the centuries. This continuity is fundamental to all Chinese arts, particularly painting and the theme of landscape above all. From the collection of Sanje (Frank) Elliott, Buddhist mentor, artist, and friend to many. Condition notes: 63 numbered pp; PB .
