The Chinese boast a longer span of cultural history than any other race. In any attempt to do justice to almost 4,000 consecutive years of artistic evolution - from the Shand Dynasty to the end of the Ch'ing in this century - limits must be set: in this volume Laurence Sickman confines himself to Chinese sculpture and whilst Alexander Soper discusses the development of architecture.
