100 Great Eastern Works of Art

This beautifully illustrated hardback looks at 100 of the most fascinating works of art to have been created from the Eastern world, filled with full-color artworks.

Moving from the Near East and Middle East across to the Pacific and Oceania by way of India, China and Japan, John Finley explores the incredible art that the Eastern world has to offer. Whether it be an example of indigenous art, a Japanese woodblock print, an architectural gem, such as Angkor Wat, a fine porcelain or alabaster vase, an incredible item of jewellery or a delicate and intricate miniature Persian painting, the breadth and craftsmanship is celebrated in 100 invaluable works.

Includes:

• Bhimbetka rock paintings, India
• The Terracotta Warriors, China
• Hoa Hakananai'a statue, Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Polynesia
• Infinity Mirrored Room by Yayoi Kusama, Japan

Each work is shown in full color and is accompanied by an analysis of its history, the artist (if known) who created it and the significance it brings to the art world.
