- This book presents an overarching investigation of the arts of the short-lived, culturally complex and politically flawed Mongol Yuan dynasty in China, treating city planning and architecture, visual arts of calligraphy and painting, xylographic printing, sculpture and various wares of ceramic production and organised in chapters that are partly chronological and partly thematic. It surveys and analyses a large body of material and textual sources, some only basically documented, accessed over 6 years in archives in Asia, Europe and North America. It is also a granular social history which conceptualises Yuan visual cultures from both Chinese and Mongol vantage points.
