Grousset’s study of four thousand years of Chinese civilization—remarkable for its clear and coherent interpretation of this complex subject. Though it deals primarily with Chinese art, relating its evolution to its cultural setting, it also discusses the philosophies and religions that influenced the artistic works of the Neolithic, Shang and Chou periods, the art of the Han, the Six Dynasties, and the Tang, Sung, Yüan, Ming and Ching. The book ends with a short survey of contemporary art in China.
