SynopsisBuddhism has played a crucial role in the development of China's extraordinarily rich and varied visual arts tradition. From the vivid cave paintings of the early medieval period (fifth century) to elaborate contemporary Buddhist temples, Buddhism has manifested itself in every art form and influenced every major period of art in China. This book provides a succinct yet richly detailed history of Buddhist art in China. It describes the rise of the religion in India and its transmission to China;outlines the stylistic and technical development and iconographical themes of Buddhist art throughout all its major periods; explains Mahayana Buddhist art in China and its pantheon; and describes the features unique to Chan, Esoteric, and popular Buddhist art. It is an excellent primer for anyone new to the subject, as well as invaluable source of recent research and excavations for experts.
