100 Great Eastern Works of Art

Moving from the Near East and Middle East (or Western Asia) across to the Pacific and Oceania by way of India, China and Japan, this beautifully illustrated book looks at 100 of the most fascinating works of art to have been created throughout this vast geographical area. Whether it be an example of indigenous art, a Japanese woodblock print, an architectural gem, such as Angkor Wat, a fine porcelain or alabaster vase, an incredible item of jewellery or a delicate and intricate miniature Persian painting, the breadth and craftsmanship is celebrated in 100 invaluable works. Each work is shown in full colour and is accompanied by a specially written text that looks at its history, the artist (if known) who created it and the significance it brings to the world of art.
