In Arthur Upham Pope and A New Survey of Persian Art, fourteen scholars explore the legacy of Arthur Upham Pope (1881–1969) by tracing the formation of Persian art scholarship and connoisseurship during the twentieth century. Widely considered as a self-made scholar, curator, and entrepreneur, Pope was credited for establishing the basis of what we now categorize broadly as Persian art. His unrivalled professional achievement, together with his personal charisma, influenced the way in which many scholars and collectors worldwide came to understand the art, architecture and material culture of the Persian world. This ultimately resulted in the establishment of the aesthetic criteria for assessing the importance of cultural remains from modern-day Iran. With contributions by Lindsay Allen, Sheila S. Blair, Jonathan M. Bloom, Talinn Grigor, Robert Hillenbrand, Yuka Kadoi, Sumru Belger Krody, Judith A. Lerner, Kimberly Masteller, Cornelia Montgomery, Bernard O’Kane, Keelan Overton, Laura Weinstein, and Donald Whitcomb.

In This path breaking book Martin J. Powers examines the art and politics of Han dynasty (206 B. C. - A.D. 220) and show that both were shaped by the rise of an educated, non aristocratic public-the Confucian literati - that questioned the authority of the rich and royal at all levels. By considering the design and construction of local tombs and shrines, their mural schemes, subject matter, and style, the author distinguishes three major traditions of taste and places each tradition within a narrative of political rivalries in northeast China.
