This magnificent book, written by a team of eminent international scholars, is the first to recount the history of Chinese painting over a span of some three thousand years. Drawing on museum collections, archives, and archaeological sites in China—including many resources never before available to Western scholars—as well as on collections in other countries, the authors present and analyze the very best examples of Chinese painting: more than 300 of them are reproduced here in colour. Both accessible to the general reader and revelatory for the scholar, the book provides the most up-to-date and detailed history of China’s pictorial art available today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the authors rewrite the history of Chinese art wherever it is found—in caves, temples, or museum collections. They begin by grounding the Western reader in Chinese traditions and practices, showing in essence how to look at a Chinese painting. They then shed light on such topics as the development of classical and narrative painting, the origins of the literati tradition, the flowering of landscape painting, and the ways the traditions of Chinese painting have been carried into the present day. The book, which concludes with a glossary of techniques and terms and a list of artists by dynasty, is an essential resource for all lovers of, or newcomers to, Chinese painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThree Thousand Years of Chinese Painting\u003c\/i\u003e is the inaugural volume in a new series, \u003ci\u003eThe Culture \u0026amp; Civilization of China\u003c\/i\u003e, a joint publishing venture of Yale University Press and the American Council of Learned Societies with the China International Publishing Group in Beijing.
