The Wisdom of the East; Ex-Library; 108 pages; Good/No Jacket. Ex-library with stamps, date due slip and pocket. Pen for spine label. Crack to spine at page 17. Outside page edges lightly dusty. Landscape in Chinese painting, as in European, was for a long time treated as an accessory to human life and as a background for the human activities, and was, therefore, slow in rising to independence. The present small volume is an attempt to trace through written records the gradual development of theories concerning this branch of art, beginning with the period when the independent landscape painting was scarcely known and concluding with the age when it became a predominant theme.
