Review: "This book offers an unusual view of a wide array of Chinese art. It highlights - up close and in colour - examples of design and craft in paintings, prints, metalwork, ceramics, jade and lacquer. By illustrating the complete object as well as exceptional features through the use of enlarged details - sometimes virtually invisible to the naked eye - intriguing comparisons can be drawn between seemingly unrelated media. The selection of details evokes the hand and eye of the most accomplished Chinese craftsmen over thousands of years."--BOOK JACKET.
