Watson, William. STYLE IN THE ARTS OF CHINA.
Universe Books 1975 0876632169 / 9780876632161 Hardcover VG+/VG+
126 pp. plus 146 plates. Approx. 6 x 8.5in. 22 oz.William Watson discards the customary historical approach to Chinese art which divides the subject by dynasties or by the categories of the fine arts as they are understood in the West, a method that has tended to obscure the basic analogies in Chinese and Western art. Instead, he groups the categories of artistic invention, period taste, archaism, and psychological quality under the broad headings of hieratic, realistic and decorative. He traces these three major aspects of Chinese style separately from early to recent times, looking for corresponding manifestations in both najor and minor arts: painting, sculpture, pottery, jade, porcelain, and textiles.But Professor Watson does not neglect historical sequence. His first chapter, on hieratic styles, describes a stylistic cycle which, as primary expression, extends from the 15th. to the 1st. century B.C. The realism discussed in the second chapter is present insignificant degree only in much later periods. The chapter on touches upon early art but is largely concerned with the last thousand years, when a conscious separation of the decorative from the expressive was particulary characteristic.
