Decorative arts in China during the Han dynasty. *** "The pastoral tribes on China's northern borders played a major role in the cultural development of China during antiquity. By the first millenium B.C., the region's inhabitants were trading in horses, wool, carpets and fur--items in demand by their urban Chinese neighbors. The artistic creations of the two groups reflect centuries of their complex interrelationships. The pastoral tribes favored belt buckles, chariot and harness fittings, weapons and tools in cast gold, silver and embellished bronze. The urban dwellers preferred wine and food vessels and bronze bells to use in rituals. This book emphasizes the character of consumerism in these ancient neighboring societies and the effects of commerce and migration on the appearance and production of everyday and luxury goods." - Publisher.

Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "The Allied Occupation witnessed American involvement in virtually every aspect of life in Japan, forever changing the relationship between the countries. Numerous studies addressing politics, economic and constitutional development, and education reform have been published but very little has appeared concerning the conditions of the visual arts during this formative era. As the world marks a half century since the events of the Occupation, it is time to reflect on the creative environment that profoundly affected the cultural life of the country. The Confusion Era: Art and Culture in Japan During the Allied Occupation, 1945 -- 1952 brings together an eminent, lively group of authors for a critical exploration of the achievements and experiments of the time.Film historian and writer Donald Richie probes the ironies, missteps, and politics of the Occupation censors and their new colleagues in the Japanese cultural community. Citing incidents both famous and infamous, he deftly touches on painting, theater, and film. Scholar Keiko McDonald examines the conflicted and provocative evolution of women's roles in film while Linda Ehrlich discusses two films by Japanese directors looking back on the period. In a revealing look at nine visual artists who not only suffered reversals of fortune during the war but also a fundamental confusion of values in the aftermath, author Emiko Yamanishi describes the caution and experimentation that characterized the era. Ranging in purpose from soliciting donations of clothes for returning refugees to promoting cosmetics and "Peace Cigarettes", a selection of posters forms a vibrant portfolio assembled by James Howard Fraser, author of several books onJapanese graphic design. Director emeritus of the Cleveland Museum of Art and distinguished author Sherman Lee provides a telling first person account of his experiences during those difficult years. His job with the Arts and Monuments Division of SCAP (Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers) in Tokyo led him to inspection visits of temple sites and art collections all over Japan at a time of intense national scrutiny.This compelling and beautiful volume promises to be an essential addition to the appreciation and study of the art and culture of Japan and to the literature of Japanese-American relations." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The Occupied Arts, by Donald Richie; Painting in the Time of "Heavy Hands", by Emiko Yamanashi; Erasing and Refocusing: Two Films of the Occupation, by Linda C.

Centres of international activity for artists, critics, patrons, dealers and government officials, the Salons provided an appropriate setting to discuss concepts about artists and art institutions, and to consider the interpretation of themes and imagery in paintings and sculptures. Through acceptance at the Paris exhibitions, American artists won international renown during their lifetimes and, they devoutly hoped, a place in history among the great masters of Western art. This book examines the extent and impact of the relation of American art to the French in the nineteenth century, an understanding of some of the problems of the artist in American culture, and an awareness of the search of American artists for relevance and meaning in their works. This book contains a list of all 5,000 Salon works exhibited by Americans throughout the century, which includes not only the titles of works shown at each exhibition, but also a record of artists' teachers and their addresses." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword, by Albert Boime; Preface, by Elizabeth Broun; Author's preface; Background: ideas and practices developed in the early Salons; 1800 to 1870: The Napoleonic Salons: grandiose visions; Salons of the July Monarch: middle-class patronage; Second Empire Salons: a closer relationship with French art; 1872-1899: Behind the scenes in Paris; In the galleries of the Salons: themes and imagery; Back home again: the impact of the Salon experience; Notes; Awards to American Salon exhibitors, 1800-1899; List of American exhibitors and their works, 1800-1899.
