Book Reviews of The Art of China Knowledge Cards?
Book Review: From the Publisher
Summary: 5 Stars
"The magnificent objects showcased in this deck of Knowledge Cards? draw upon forty centuries of Chinese culture, from the twelfth century B.C. to the early twentieth century. You'll find a true cross section of Chinese art here: samples of work in many media--jade, bronze, textiles, paintings, ceramics, and more. These pieces are from the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco and represent both folk art and the sophisticated paintings of the literati. The text tells the story behind the art, including the place and period of origin, function, and cultural significance.
"With 48 fact-filled cards per package, Knowledge Cards? are a great source of condensed information--all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards. Each card features a stunning full-color reproduction on one side, with informed, illuminating comments on the other side, providing a splendid introduction to the marvels of Chinese art."--© Pomegranate
