Catalogue of an excellent and sophisticated exhibition held at Guardian Art Centre in Beijing in conjunction with the Gugong Palace Museum. The exhibits - from the former Chinese imperial collection - are truly exceptional. The exhibition explored how the Chinese veneration of the past, and the accompanying ancient aesthetic in Chinese art 'gu se' (ancient style), influenced later Chinese dynasties, in particular, the Qing, and how this aesthetic was incorporated and reimagined using then new and contemporary techniques in art and craftsmanship. This fascination reached its peak during the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty and many superb examples date from that time. Numerous exhibits using various materials - ceramic, jade, bronze, lacquer etc. - emulate ancient shapes and forms. Included a number of fabulous treasure boxes filled with small treasures, many in the 'gu se' style. A good amount of previously-unpublished objects. Illustrated throughout in colour. Many exhibits shown life-size and in multiple views. Foreword, list of contents, list of plates, captions to plates and abstracts to essays in English. Main text in Chinese. Recommended as a visual and research reference - and as a source of much delight. Apparently already out-of-print.
