Review: The Art and Aesthetics of Form Selections from the History of Chinese Painting

The Art and Aesthetics of Form Selections from the History of Chinese Painting by Yun-ru Ch'en
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I always hesitate to read museum books, since they often tend to be essentially a collection of photos of exhibits, with basically a short description taken from the one in the exhibit itself and that's it.

However, I found this short book to be excellent as a primer into China's history of art. The examples all illustrated clearly the general narrative, which was basically about the progression of art history throughout the dynasties.

4.5 stars for now. Might change it to 5.
