Asian Art: An Anthology

Asian Art is the first comprehensive anthology of important primary documents and key contemporary scholarship on Asian art history. It traces the rich artistic traditions in China, Japan, Korea, India, and Southeast Asia across time periods, media, cultural contexts, and geography — from the terracotta armies of the First Emperor of Qin to late 20th-century installation art, includes an accessible introduction which provides suggestions of thematic connections across the vast array of visual culture and historical time covered. It features introductory material for each extract, an easy-to-navigate chronological structure, and has been extensively tested by the editors and their colleagues in classrooms.
