Kurzbeschreibung
In 1215, the year Khubilai Khan (1215-1294) was born, the Mongols made their first major incursion into North China and initiated a period of extraordinary creativity in the arts that was encouraged by the confluence of many cultures and ethnic groups. This period lasted approximately 150 years and had its greatest flowering in the Yuan dynasty, founded by Khubilai in 1271 and lasting until 1368. "Xanadu to Dadu" is a groundbreaking study of the art and culture produced at this time by the Chinese and by the highly skilled craftsmen from Western and Central Asia, who were selected for their abilities and brought together in Northern Chinese workshops, where they exchanged ideas, styles, and art forms. The works they produced created a new art style that would influence the arts of China in all subsequent periods. In the 11 essays included in this volume, art historians discuss the origins of new art forms, daily life in Yuan China, in particular at the imperial court and in the capital cities of Xanadu (Shangdu) and Dadu (Beijing), and the impact on the arts of the religions practised at this time, including Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, Manichaeism, Hinduism, and Islam. The essays are accompanied by beautifully reproduced colour illustrations of artworks from Chinese and international collections.

exciting exhibition of Yuan dynasty artistic splendours
19. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The Yaun dynasty (1271-1368) was established by Khubilai Khan. Khubilai (1215-1294), the grandson of Genghis Khan, began his reign in 1260 and established Dudu (current day Beijing)as the new capital. China became part of the Mongol Empire. The current Metropolitan Museum exhibition, of which this book is a catalog, examines the history, art and culture of this era.
Considering the paucity of artistic output during the Midde Ages in Europe, it is instructive to observe the wonderful flowering of the arts in China during the time of the Yuan dynasty. The amazing porcelain, textiles, painting, calligraphy, sculpture and pottery are vividly illustrated in this volume. It is sobering to note that in the West the secret of porcelain manufacture was only discovered in 1710.
The interesting text observes that while the conquering Mongol hordes thought nothing of eliminating entire populations, the lives of artists and artisans were often spared. By the looks of the artistic splendours evidenced in the Met exhibition, their skills were put to good use. As is usual with Metropolitan Museum publications, the standards of color reproduction and printing quality and accompanying text are well above average. Warmly recommended for those interested in this era of Chinese art.

Interesting, but just a brief introduction
4. Juni 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I like the various collection of this exhibition catalog. It really covers topic that was commonly ignored in art history, such as religious art. Some pieces are unique.
However, this book has at least two cons:
1. Many pictures are INCOMPLETE. They just give you a NARROW view of one picture. For landscape paining, that is absolutely not nice.
2. Many topics during this era have not been well-explored , such as Blue and white porcelain.
