The Studio and the Altar: Daoist Art in China
2008réf. 001269Hong Kong: Chinese University of HK 2008. Despite its central role in Chinese culture and history Daoist art has received relatively little attention compared with that of China's other major religion Buddhism. The present volume is a significant and valuable contribution to the field cataloguing a wide variety of objects and media including ceramics gold bronze stone wood silk and paper all illustrated in colour and described in detail. The catalogue is particularly strong in the area of Daoist paintings and illustrated books an area largely neglected in the few other catalogues on the subject. With introductory essays by Lai Chi Tim and Kristofer Schipper; text is bilingual English/Chinese. The book was quickly sold out and is already difficult to find. 238 pp. incl. four pp. loose insert 136 col. plates map chronology bibliography.
