Art Beyond the West: The Arts of Africa, India and Southeast Asia, China, Japan and Korea, the Pacific, and the Americas

Differing from the traditional Non-Western art study this one-volume look at non-Western art is more systematic and detailed in the establishment of the cultural and ideological contexts, linking the philosophy behind the piece with its appearance of style. The book goes beyond the mere description of style to show how that style works in concert with the cultural context to create meaning in the art. The volume provides readers with an efficient and workable educational tool with which to study the art from this large part of the world. Art from Africa, India and Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Japan, the Pacific, Pre-Columbia and Native America are examined as well as art without boundaries. For art enthusiasts and others interested in a one-volume analysis of non-Western art.
