Art and Archaeology in China documents one of the most acclaimed and well-attended exhibitions in recent years. Over three million visitors saw the flying horse of the Han dynasty and the jade shroud that are now widely and popularly recognized and pictured here, along with many other archaeological treasures.  Illustrations depict objects that range in time from 600,000 BC to the end of the Yuan dynasty in the fourteenth century. Many are shown in their archaeological settings. The text by Edmund Capon places them in historical perspective and cultural context, and explains modern China's unusual approach to archaeological preservation and interpretation. While there is much to fascinate archaeologists, historians, and sinologists, the book will appeal to readers and viewers without specialized knowledge, but who have an eye for incomparable beauty.

Jeffrey Smart retrospective

Art Gallery of New South Wales

In the story of modern Australian art, Jeffrey Smart stands alone. The vocabulary of his visual language - modern city life, a kind of deadpan realism tinged with a hint of surrealism - is unmistakably of our time, but his sense of composition is devoted to the most rigorous and eloquent standards of the High Renaissance and the works of such artists as Piero della Francesca.
