Internationally renowned and a crucial classroom text, The Arts of
China has been revised and expanded by the late Michael Sullivan,
with Shelagh Vainker. This new, sixth, edition has an emphasis on
Chinese art history, not as an assemblage of related topics, but as
a continuous story. With updated attributions and dating throughout
and a revised bibliography, it reflects the latest archaeological
discoveries, as well as giving increased attention to modern and
contemporary art and to calligraphy throughout China's history,
with additional discussions of work by women artists. Visual
enhancements include all new maps, and approximately one hundred
new color illustrations-bringing the total to well over four
hundred color illustrations. Written in the engaging and lucid
style that is Sullivan's hallmark, The Arts of China is readily
accessible to general readers as well as to serious students of art
history. Sullivan's approach remains true to the way the Chinese
themselves view art, providing readers with a sense of the sweep of
history through China's dynasties. This organizational strategy
makes it easy for readers to understand the distinct
characteristics of each period of art and to gain a clearer view of
how Chinese art has changed in relation to its historical context.
With many improvements that bring it fully up to date, The Arts of
China will remain the most comprehensive and widely read
introduction to the history of Chinese art.
