Drawing upon and reviewing current Chinese and Japanese material available, as well as the western publications and interpretations, this text explores 800 years of Chinese arts comprehensively. Following styles and motifs as they developed within and across mediums, as well as from one geographical area to another, Watson considers architecture, painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts. The text is arranged by successive topics, defining period style, and aiming at satisfying the curiosity of those who meet Chinese art on a historical rather than an acquisitive level. The book aims to inform the student and the connoisseur.

The Arts of China, 900-1620

This book is the first in a major three-volume series that will survey China's immense wealth of art, architecture, and artifacts from prehistoric times to the twentieth century. The Arts of China to A.D. 900 investigates the beginnings of the traditions on which much of the art rests, moving from Neolithic and Bronze Age China to the era of the Tang Dynasty around A.D. 900. William Watson discusses in lively detail a wide range of art forms and techniques: porcelain and pottery, lacquer, religious and secular painting and sculpture, mural painting, monumental sculpture and architecture. He explains the materials and techniques of bronze casting, jade carving, pottery manufacture, and other arts, and he describes the most important sites, the artifacts that were produced at each one, and the historical interactions between different areas. He discusses the iconography, the technique and the function of every art form. Written by one of the most distinguished scholars in the field of Chinese art and archaeology, this lavishly illustrated book will be a valuable resource for both experts and beginners in the field.

An examination of the most prolific and broad-ranging period of Chinese art history, from the Song Dynasty with its spectacular landscape paintings to the Ming Dynasty with its lovely pottery. William Watson covers architecture, painting, sculpture and decorative arts in this second volume of his three-volume series on the entire history of the arts in China.
