Paperback. First edition. NEW paperback with French flaps in the publisher's shrink wrap. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. This book takes as its subject the pair of magnificent picture-scrolls entitled 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow' (Chogonka gakan.) Created by the Kyoto Kano School master Sansetsu (1590-1651) in the early Edo period, the painting depicts the tragic love story of the Tang emperor Minghuang and his beloved concubine Yang Guifei, as told by the great Tang poet Bai Juyi in 806. Yang Guifei was one of the Four Beauties of ancient China and the beloved consort of Minghuang for many years. She was ultimately killed during the An Lushan Rebellion as the emperor was fleeing the capital because the guards blamed the rebellion on her powerful cousin and the rest of her family. This Chinese subject has had an intriguing history in Japan ever since it was first mentioned in the Tale of Genji and this book demonstrates how the Chogonka scrolls emerged from Sansetsu's long engagement with Chinese themes. Includes a brief history and biography. Texts by Shane McCausland and Matthew McKelway. 192 pages; color plates and text illustrations; 9.5 x 12 inches.…

"Art styles and movements are created or identified in many different ways. Some are fashioned by artists themselves, groups of like-minded men and women who share a similar way of thinking or looking. Others are created in retrospect, by historians who seek to understand art based on shared techniques or themes. Yet others are born of political causes or in reaction to social or cultural circumstances--an attempt to alter history, or reinforce the status quo, or reject both history and status quo altogether in a determination to start again. [] ART IN TIME introduces some 150 of the most important and influential styles, schools and movements, spanning not just the Western tradition but also styles from India, China, Japan, Latin America and Africa. Beginning with the present day and moving back in time, the reader is encouraged to discover the ways art plays with, and builds on, earlier ideas, beliefs and traditions. Each style or movement is examined in the context of the times in which it arose--for art history is cultural history, and all art is culturally specific. Nevertheless, the intersections between the political, religious, economic and social timelines of disparate cultures and different practices show that art is not created in a vacuum, either chronological or geographical. [] ART IN TIME is for 'all those who feel in need of some orientation in a strange and fascinating field,' and an invitation to see art anew. Because art, and artists, are ever-changing, informed by their time and their predecessors, adapting and reshaping the way we see and interpret the world." [jacket copy] "Beautifully produced. . . An absorbing and enlightening gallop through art. The careful balance of digestible chunks of information with beautiful images makes this equally rewarding as a dip-into coffeetable book or a cover to cover read."--Royal Academy of Arts Magazine. Pristine hardcover is massive w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, (very slight beump on bottom front board), wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket covered in archival mylar.
