Interior as new.; Catalogue from the exhibition co-presented by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Museum and the University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong from 13 December 2008 to 15 of March 2009.; "The northwest Silk Road was the most important overland route linking ancient China with the outside world in the one thousand five hundred-period, spanning the Han (206 BCE-CE 220) to the Yuan (1271-1368) dynasties, Over this long period, foreigners and other non-Chinese ethnic minorities entered Gansu via Xinjiang, turning southeast towards Ningxia and Shaansi, and the ancient Tang capital of Chang'an. The Silk Road was the result of political and military endeavour. Begun during the Han dynasty to combat the Huns, it was also important during the Tang dynasty (618-907) in opposing the Turks. The Ningxia section of the route had particular strategic significance because of its proximity to the political and economic centre of Chang'an, thus control over the area was hotly contested between the Han Chinese and non-Chinese ethnic minorities. Relics found along the Silk Road include Indian Buddhist sculptures, Persian-Sassanian motifs and images of the whirling dervish dance of Samarkand. Buddhist painting by Cao Zhongda, a Sogdian from Kabudhan (Gubdan), north of the Zerafshan River, of the Northern Qi dynasty (550-577), are characterized by the depiction of pleated garments that drape the body closely, as if the figure were emerging from water. This "Cao Style" greatly influenced Chinese Buddhist art." excerpt from the foreword by YEUNG Chun-rong, Director, University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong, 11 November 2008.

Hard bound. Condizione: New. First Edition. The town of Jingdezhen, in Jiangxi Province, has been the center of fine porcelain production in China for almost 1,000 years; ceramic production continues to be the primary industry in the town to the present day. During the Ming and Qing periods, Jingdezhen was the exclusive source of ceramics for the Chinese Imperial court, and its product from this era remain unsurpassed. Jingdezhen craft, like many traditional Chinese arts, suffered greatly during the Communist revolution and for much of the 20th century the kilns of the region have churned out mundane and inexpensive trade products now available around the world. The great early skills, though, were never completely lost and a few kilns have strived to preserve the quality for which the town was famous hundreds of years ago. The present catalogue demonstrates this capability, with wares produced in present times that rival the perfection and beauty of the dynastic era. Aside from the many beautiful finished objects illustrated and described, the catalogue provides rich detail on the colours, tools and techniques employed in the kilns maintaining this tradition. A beautiful and essential reference, illustrating objects that are certain to enrich future collections. All essays and descriptions in bilingual English / Chinese. 210 pp., 129 objects illustrated in full colour, plus 161 colour images of the creative techniques, tools, materials in a detailed essay on the subject. *** PLEASE NOTE - THIS VOLUME IS HEAVY AND MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL POSTAGE. *** Size: 31 x 23 cm.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 287 pp., illustrations. In English and Chinese. This is the catalogue of the exhibition, The Multiplicity of Simplicity: Monochrome wares from the Song to the Yuan dynasties , held by the University Museum and Art Gallery, HKU. The Song dynasty (960-1279) saw a breakthrough in Chinese ceramics production. It was during this time that a number of famous kilns were established in different parts of China. The products from each kiln demonstrated a style of their own. Some of their innovative traditions were passed on to the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368). Sponsored by the University of Hong Kong Museum Society and the Songde Tang, this exhibition features 118 pieces of ceramic wares from the University Museum collection as well as eight collections in Hong Kong. They are representative works produced by the well-known kilns in Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. All show rich variations of white, blue, green and black glaze colours. Evidently, the monochromes made from the Song to the Yuan dynasties are the result of a highly sophisticated ceramic technology. Most of the exhibits are displayed to the public for the first time. They are fully illustrated in this exhibition catalogue.
