Thames & Hudson: "Why do we call fine ceramics 'china'? Are paintings actually made on 'rice paper'? What are 'japanning', 'cinnabar' and 'celadon'? How can one identify 'true' lacquer? What is a 'Peking knot'? Here is an introduction to some of the most beautiful materials used in Asian art and the ways in which they have been transformed into works of art over the centuries, providing clear definitions and expert guidance. Each material is studied in turn - jade, silk, porcelain, lacquer, ivory, bamboo, paper, gold, stone and wood - explaining the techniques used in the artistic process. The most important historical styles are explored country by country, from the most ancient prehistoric examples to the art of the present day. An understanding of the spiritual and symbolic significance of these materials, thoroughly examined in this volume, will lead the reader to a more profound understanding of the artists' intentions. Jade, for instance, because of its hardness and durability, is associated with immortality and longevity in China. Bamboo, which bends and sways but does not break even in the strongest winds, symbolizes flexibility in many East Asian cultures. With its clear, accessible text, spectacular images, extensive bibliography, and list of key museums, galleries and specialist art dealers, The Arts of Asia will be an indispensable guide to travellers, students, collectors and enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the world of Asian art." | |

Tribal Asia - Ceremonies, Rituals and DressAuteur: Robert SchmidHardcover 320 blz. Formaat: 320 x 240 mm Uitgever: Thames & Hudson, 2004 Taal: Engels ISBN: 0-500-54285-6 Onze prijs: 49.99 Euro Verzendingskost (non-prior): België : 7.70 Euro Nederland : 13.00 Euro Europa & VS: 26.00 Euro Andere landen : 52.00 Euro Artikelnummer: 731 Bestel hier INFO Met 309 illustraties. Thames & Hudson: "Over fifteen years and many expeditions, Fritz Trupp and Robert Schmid have documented the customs and cultures of the forgotten tribes of Asia, from the Bedouins of southern Arabia to the nomadic Tsaatan of the Russian tundra, from isolated tribal groups in the Indian rainforests to the little-known ethnic peoples of south China. Hundreds of striking, full-colour photographs illustrate the amazing variety of clothing, jewelry, body painting and other forms of personal adornment. Explanations of rituals, ceremonies and festivals - many rarely seen by outsiders - offer an invaluable insight into these ancient but adaptable peoples who survive in the most isolated regions, and withstand both the increasing pressures of encroaching civilization and the destruction of their natural environment." | |
