About This Item
Oxford, 1973. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8.5" X 11.25. H/B. 526 pages, condition is very good, signed by the author dated 1981. CIVILISATION ON LOAN BY HEINZ EDGAR KIEWE HOW CHINESE, JAPANESE, INDIAN AND THAI IDEAS HAVE DIFFUSED AMAZINGLY INTO EUROPEAN ART, DECOR, TASTE AND SOPHISTICATION OVER 3OOO YEARS. 'CIVILISATION ON LOAN' Civilisation on Loan is an album to keep. A collector's item, bursting with cool facts and provocative assertions and more than 400 fascinating pictures to help you put them to the test. Trace for yourself the links which bind East and West behind the nationalistic camouflage which perpetuates the notion that such a total separation is possible at all. Beneath the bluster, 'civilised' man has repeatedly borrowed - to put it politely - without acknowledging the debt. This is the theme of the album, which tries to correct history a little. The pictures, gathered together with care and boldness; show how Chinese, Japanese and Thai ideas have diffused amazingly into European art, decor, taste and sophistication over three thousand years.
