At a time when interest in China has never been greater, this revised edition of Mary Tregear's authoritative survey of the Chinese visual arts will be welcomed by art lovers, students and travelers alike. Generously illustrated and eminently readable, it covers not only bronzes, jades, calligraphy and painting, but also Buddhist sculpture, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, lacquer, garden design and architecture. The book has been updated in view of recent finds, and a new final chapter on twentieth-century art as well as an invaluable chronology of Chinese historical periods and six maps have been included.
