Neolithic figurines, rows upon rows of underground terra-cotta statues, exquisite bronzes, Buddhas carved in cave walls--all these are part of a vast sculptural heritage. This gorgeous book, written by a team of eminent international scholars, is the first to offer a comprehensive history of Chinese sculpture. Spanning some seven thousand years, \u003ci\u003eChinese Sculpture \u003c\/i\u003eexplores a beautiful and diverse world of objects, many of which have come to light in recent decades. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors analyze and present, mostly in color, more than five hundred examples of Chinese sculpture, dividing China's rich and complex sculptural legacy into two parts--secular (tomb and mortuary art) and religious (Buddhist, Confucianist, and Daoist art). Throughout, the authors highlight the inventiveness, purposes, and brilliant execution of Chinese sculpture and comment on how the country's culture nurtured the practical and intellectual choices that shaped its sculptural traditions over the millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForeign Languages Press, Beijing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Falco Howard, Song Li, Hung Wu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300100655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300100655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.14h x 9.34w x 1.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2006 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1 - Strongly Recommended","brand":"Angela Falco Howard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913589784831,"sku":"9780300100655","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c986846d-5e04-4961-af5c-4017931466cf.jpg?v=1680621230","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chinese-sculpture-angela-falco-howard-9780300100655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
