Description

Chinese Art: Bronze, Jade, Sculpture, Ceramics by Daisy Lion-Goldschmidt and Jean-Claude Moreau-Gobard, published by Universe Books, New York, in 1960, the first American edition, printed in Switzerland.

A monumental volume of 426 pages on heavy paper, profusely illustrated with many mounted color plates alongside black-and-white photography. It measures roughly 10 by 13½ inches and weighs about eight pounds. Hardcover, with jacket and a board protective sleeve.

A hard-to-find classic of the postwar art-book era, and still a rewarding survey for anyone working across Chinese bronzes, jades, sculpture, and ceramics.
