Description
Paying tribute to a professor who has profoundly shaped East Asian art history as it is today through multifaceted, comprehensive, and innovative research, this collection features 18 essays on Chinese, Korean, and Japanese art and archaeology by students of Lothar Ledderose. The geographical, temporal, and thematic range of the volume reflects the changes undergone by the discipline in recent years, with contributions that address tomb architecture, Buddhist cave temples and stone inscriptions, and exhibition and art policy. Comprehensive and well-referenced, this study also undertakes case studies of calligraphy, painting and textiles, and instances of transcultural inspiration in painting, the graphic arts, and ceramics from Europe and the Far East.
