5.0 out of 5 stars
Worth twice the price!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Masterpieces of Chinese Art (Hardcover)
This wonderful overview of Chinese art takes the reader on a delightful trip through 6000 years of history. Some 100 beautiful full-color photographs, some of them filling the entire oversized page, are used to illustrate this fascinating journey. The text is insightful and well-written and should appeal even to readers who are not especially interested in the study of Asian art. This beautiful (and remarkably inexpensive) book is not to be missed!

beautiful and informative,
By Szendile "szendile" (Hungary) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterpieces of Chinese Art (Hardcover)
I am really interested in Chinese culture so I was glad to find this book and learn more about its art. The book is nicelly illustrated and the pieces of art are well described so one can have enough information about them. I agree with the previously published reviews that this is an important book for those who want to know more about Chinese art.

Simply wonderful!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Masterpieces of Chinese Art (Hardcover)
This is an amazing overview of the very best in Chinese art, including sculpture, painting, drawings, and pottery from ancient times to the present day. Roughly 100 full-color illustrations--many of which fill an entire page--are used to illuminate this insightful stroll through Chinese art history. The text is clearly written, and even readers with only a minimal interest in art are likely to enjoy learning about the fascinating history of Chinese civilization. Don't miss this one!
