A stunning showcase of exceptional and rare works of Buddhist art,
presented to the international community for the first time The
practice of Buddhism in Myanmar (Burma) has resulted in the
production of dazzling objects since the 5th century. This landmark
publication presents the first overview of these magnificent works
of art from major museums in Myanmar and collections in the United
States, including sculptures, paintings, textiles, and religious
implements created for temples and monasteries, or for personal
devotion. Many of these pieces have never before been seen outside
of Myanmar. Accompanied by brilliant color photography, essays by
Sylvia Fraser-Lu, Donald M. Stadtner, and scholars from around the
world synthesize the history of Myanmar from the ancient through
colonial periods and discuss the critical links between religion,
geography, governance, historiography, and artistic production. The
authors examine the multiplicity of styles and techniques
throughout the country, the ways Buddhist narratives have been
conveyed through works of art, and the context in which the diverse
objects were used. Certain to be the essential resource on the
subject, Buddhist Art of Myanmar illuminates two millennia of
rarely seen masterpieces. Published in association with Asia
Society Museum Exhibition Schedule: Asia Society Museum
