From Leonardo Reviews:
The Arts of China, Fifth Edition, Revised and Expanded by Michael Sullivan. Reviewed by Amy Ione
The fifth edition of Michael Sullivan’s The Arts of China is an engaging tour de force. Indeed, reviewing this updated, revised, and expanded volume is an intimidating task given its scope. The first edition was published more than 50 years ago, in 1951, as An Introduction to Chinese Art; in this latest version, Sullivan offers a readable summary that takes us from the Neolithic period to the contemporary scene. As he moves us through the dynasties, it is easy to see that his knowledge of the subject is vast. It is no wonder the book is now a classic, and I highly recommend it. That said, I must follow with the confession that this review cannot touch upon all the notations I made as I read because the nuances of the book would require more space. Read more.
