Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oriental Collection of W. T. Walters: 65 Mt. Vernon Place, Baltimore, 1884 We submit to our friends, and those generally interested in the subject, the result of our efforts for more than twenty years as collectors of Oriental objects of art, mainly Chinese and Japanese. Our interest and effort have been more in the direction of securing characteristic examples of the beautiful, either in form, color or material, than of the merely curious. Regarding the Ceramic Art from the standpoint Of true decorative principles, whether in its strongest character istics, or in the more subtle refinement and delicacy of treatment both of color and general manipulation, there can be no question that the Chinese have established their preeminence in this artistic development, compared with all that has been accomplished up to the present time; therefore the Collection will be found to be made up largely of the products of that remarkable people. In com parison with the productions Of all other countries, their colors will be found to possess less meretriciousness, greater strength and depth, as well as greater elegance. We refer, of course, to their ancient productions, say previous to the middle of the last century, when the decadence Of the art had become manifest, stimulated no doubt by the demands of European commerce, not for peculiar or single art objects, but for thousands of the mechanical reproductions of the same thing.

Download or read book The Great Chinese Art Transfer written by Michael St. Clair and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of how and why millions of Chinese works of art got exported to collectors and institutions in the West, in particular to the United States. As China’s last dynasty was weakening and collapsing from 1860 into the early years of the twentieth century, China’s internal chaos allowed imperial and private Chinese collections to be scattered, looted and sold. A remarkable and varied group of Westerners entered the country, had their eyes opened to centuries of Chinese creativity and gathered up paintings, bronzes and ceramics, as well as sculptures, jades and bronzes. The migration to America and Europe of China’s art is one of the greatest outflows of a culture’s artistic heritage in human history. A good deal of the art procured by collectors and dealers, some famous and others little known but all remarkable in individual ways, eventually wound up in American and European museums. Today some of the art still in private hands is returning to China via international auctions and aggressive purchases by Chinese millionaires.
