Binding tight and square pages clean bright and unmarked. 2011 Large Softcover. xviii 342 pp. The World of Khubilai Khan: Chinese Art in the Yuan Dynasty which accompanies a groundbreaking exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an in-depth discussion of the art and culture produced during this time tracing the origins of the new art forms and exploring daily life in Yuan China in particular at the imperial court and in the capital cities of Xanadu Shangdu and Dadu Beijing and the impact on the arts of various religions. The works of art and the archaeological finds on which the ten essays included in this volume are based are drawn principally from museums in China with additional loans from museums in Taiwan Japan Russia Germany the United Kingdom Canada and the United States. The exhibition and catalogue conceived and organized by James C. Y. Watt Brooke Russell Astor Chairman of the Department of Asian Art at the Metropolitan Museum illuminate our understanding of both the arts and the material culture of this period telling the story of the emergence of a new Chinese art in a way that it has never before been told. In 1215 the year Khubilai Khan 1215 - 1294 was born the Mongols made their first major incursion into North China initiating a period of innovation in the arts that had its greatest flowering in the Yuan dynasty founded by Khubilai in 1271 and lasting until 1368. The creativity unleashed during this period of approximately 150 years was instigated by the confluence of the many cultures and ethnic groups that were brought together in a unified empire in China which for centuries past had been politically divided. Skilled craftsmen from all over Central and Western Asia were relocated to workshops in North China where they worked alongside Chinese artists exchanging ideas and styles. This interaction eventually resulted in the creation of new art forms that would provide models for the arts of China in all subsequent periods until the twentieth century.

1920ref. 021432Paris 24 November 1920. Letter. Close to Fine. Small 4-1/2" x 6-1/2" AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED "James Joyce" to Madame Yasushi Tanaka Louise Gebhard Cann on blue paper integral with envelope which is addressed in Joyce's hand and postmarked on the verso. In full: "Dear Madam In reply to your letter I shall call on you on Sunday afternoon next as it seems to be the most convenient time for you. Sincerely yours James Joyce." Louise Gebhard Cann was a prominent writer and art critic in early 20th century France. At Ezra Pounds suggestion Cann wrote to Joyce requesting an interview with him for an article on writers in France set to appear in an upcoming issue of THE PACIFIC REVIEW. Following publication of the "Nausicaa" episode of ULYSSES in THE LITTLE REVIEW the previous year Joyces writing was deemed obscene. This particular issue of THE LITTLE REVIEW was effectively banned in the United States and it is believed that because of the controversy the editors then decided to omit any mention of Joyce from the finished article published in the March 1921 issue of THE PACIFIC REVIEW.
