Catalog of an exhibition organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in collaboration with the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art. Many of the porcelains in this volume were once owned by Chinese emperors: all are extraordinary specimens. Ranging from the ninth to the 18th centuries, they opitomize the sophistication of imperial Chinese taste. Five essays by scholars of Chinese art describe the significance of these ceramics and review recent archaeological developments contributing to their study. Fine color plates. No index.

Covering wide-ranging topics from the arts and entertainment to customs and traditions from the ancient imperial and modern eras, Historical Dictionary of Chinese Culture provides more than 300 separate entries along with a comprehensive chronology, glossary of Chinese cultural terms, and an extensive bibliography of Western and Chinese-language sources. Dictionary entries of the decorative and fine arts include ceramics and porcelains, handicrafts, jade and seal carving, jewelry, and painting.

"L'art nouveau, an artistic movement of a highly eclectic nature that developed in the late 19th century, took its lead from such diverse sources as Japanese art or the medieval revivalism of the Arts and Crafts. Perhaps in no medium was it better represented than in pottery, whose technical possibilities allowed for great freedom of expression. This richly illustrated dictionary, with glossary and select signatures, lists over 1,100 artists, ceramists and firms that participated in the creation of Art Nouveau ceramics in France, the melting pot of die new aesthetic."--Page 4 of cover.
