For the fourth edition of his much-heralded The Arts of China, last published in 1984, Michael Sullivan has thoroughly revised and expanded this classic history of Chinese art from the Neolithic period to the 1990s. He draws on archaeological discoveries in the last two decades of the twentieth century that have enriched scholars' understanding of both prehistoric and ancient Chinese civilizations. At the same time, research on more recent dynasties has led to fresh interpretations of well-documented historical events and artworks. Also, China's dramatic opening to the outside world since the 1980s has triggered an explosion of contemporary Chinese art, on which Sullivan is the foremost Western authority.
Written in the engaging and lucid style that is Sullivan's hallmark, The Arts of China is readily accessible to general readers as well as serious students of art history. Discussing more than three millennia of Chinese artistic endeavor, Sullivan introduces not only artworks, but also the social, political, religious, and philosophical contexts in which they were created.
This fourth edition has more than 380 illustrations; many are new and nearly half are in color. With this edition Sullivan has abandoned the Wade-Giles system of romanization in favor of the official Chinese Pinyin, now widely accepted by Western readers. These improvements assure that The Arts of China will remain the most comprehensive and widely read introduction to the history of Chinese art.
很有收获，早期的部分更有价值一点，毕竟西方学者的视野宽、知识新，能有如此概说书比较难得。宋以前的几章，遇到译文别扭的地方，查了一下原文。後面的页码是原著的。 6/3：可以笃定的是新石器时代…… 原文：and it is clear now that Neolithic communities…. 改译：现在...

里面有苏利文对梦溪笔谈中摒弃透视的见解，正合了当下的普遍认识，但是不是对的呢？看来有失偏颇。

比较浅显。收到作者自己的视野口味局限得比较明显。其实豆瓣上在自己熟悉的一亩三分地上精耕细作的很多，关注这些大神能得到更多的信息。
