Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:Hakuhō Sculpture is the first book in any language devoted entirely to Japanese sculpture of the Hakuhō period (c. 650 - 710 CE ). It focuses on the stylistic development and aesthetic qualities of Buddhist imagery through a careful study of gilt-bronze Buddhist icons from one of the most creative periods of Japanese Buddhist art. This close analysis of practically all extant Hakuhō images reveals much about the creative activities of the ancient sculptors.The Hakuhō period is frequently considered alongside the preceding Asuka period (c. 590 - 650), suggesting some type of organic development from one period to the next. This understanding is somewhat distorted, given the significant differences in sculptural styles between the two periods. Donald McCallum explains the differences as resulting from divergent sources in China and Korea and unique attitudes toward the making of images.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
