Book excerpt: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching (The Book of the Way) is a timeless guide to the art of living. Its central figure, the Master, lives in harmony with the Tao, the irreducible essence of the universe. Surrendering to it as the Master teaches, we feel whole. Emptying ourselves of judgment and desire, we discover the universal truths within - Without wanting, we find peace; if we let go of what we love, our love becomes present. Stephen Mitchell's acclaimed translation of this age-old text has sold more than half a million copies worldwide. Here, for the first time, it is illustrated with Chinese paintings selected by Asian art expert Dr. Stephen Little. The perfect depiction of plants, animals, and birds expresses harmony with nature, the principal teaching of the Tao; the mountainous landscapes are the heavenly home of the Tao. Each brushstroke is painted with precision, just as each word of Mitchell's translation speaks with unmatched power. This inspired translation, combined with the best images in Chinese art, will ensure that the Tao Te Ching continues to exert a profound influence into the next century.

Download or read book Imari written by Lisa E. Rotondo-McCord and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 1997 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese Imari porcelain, with its vivid red, blue and gold palette, reached Europe in the late seventeenth century and created a sensation among collectors accustomd to the more austere palette of blue-and-white Chinese wares. Soon Imari chargers and full garnitures graced the palaces and great houses of Europe and formed significant portions of the massive collections of Asian porcelains formed by many kings and princes. When high prices and increased competition from China caused imports of Imari to slow in the mid-eignteenth century, Imari continues to exert a strong influence on both the design and palette used to create porcelains at the newly established porcelain factories both in England and on the Continent.--pg. 6.

Download or read book La fabrique de l extravagance written by and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La porcelaine fut l?or blanc du XVIIIe siècle, recherché avec avidité par les princes éclairés. Deux d?entre eux, Auguste le Fort, électeur de Saxe et roi de Pologne, et Louis-Henri de Bourbon, prince de Condé, premier ministre du roi Louis XV, mirent leur fortune au service de leur passion et fondèrent deux prestigieuses manufactures, à Meissen et à Chantilly. Pour la première fois, une grande exposition et son catalogue se proposent d?éclairer le dialogue entre ces productions qui ont marqué les arts décoratifs du Siècle des Lumières. 0Les fondations des manufactures de porcelaine de Meissen et de Chantilly reposent sur les collections princières dans lesquelles elles purent régulièrement puiser des modèles. Auguste le Fort et Louis-Henri de Bourbon-Condé partagèrent en effet un enthousiasme pour la porcelaine asiatique. Les manufactures qu?ils fondèrent imitèrent la production de style japonais kakiemon, avec une grande précision, tout en s?adaptant souvent aux formes et usages occidentaux.0Le XVIIIe siècle était de fait celui de l?attrait de l?exotisme. La statuaire, autant à Chantilly qu?à Meissen, en témoigne?: les amusants magots chinois répondent aux petites statues animalières de Chantilly où le singe est roi, faisant écho aux décors peints des '?singeries?' du château de Chantilly. À Dresde, Auguste le Fort rêva de pousser jusqu?au bout les limites techniques de la porcelaine en créant une fragile ménagerie, impressionnante par ses dimensions et sa technique. 0Cette histoire est également celle des rivalités et échanges commerciaux, tout comme celle du goût. Le rôle central des marchands-merciers parisiens, important des pièces de Saxe, les dotant de montures orfévrées et les mélangeant à des porcelaines françaises, sera largement étudié. 0Ce catalogue, réunissant des spécialistes français et allemands, permettra de faire état des dernières recherches sur des chefs-d?œuvre souvent extravagants, témoins de savoir-faire remarquables, conservés en mains publiques et privées.
