Includes signature of previous owner and a bookseller stamp glued on front free endpaper.; New and revised edition of 'A Short History of Chinese Art, published by Faber and Faber in 1967.; The Arts of China paints a fascinating and balanced picture of the unique artistic achievements of the Chinese people from the Stone Age to the present day. Since this book appeared in 1967 under the title A Short History of Chinese Art, the pace of archaeological discovery and research has quicked and some of the most sensational findings took place at the height of the Cultural Revolution in 1966-8, when it seemed to the outside world as if China had turned her back on her cultural heritage. In this revised edition, Michael Sullivan describes these exciting discoveries, which include the finding of the bronze weapons used by members of the Shang Dynasty (1500- BC-1027 BC) and of the exquisite tomb of Liu Sheng, a prince of the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), and his wife Tou Wan. In the light of these discoveries he has reassessed the history of all the major Chinese arts and crafts from the magnificent painted pottery of the Neolithic period to the painting, operas and ballets of The People's Republic today.
