Download or read book Pearl written by Fiona Lindsay Shen and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From their creation in the maw of mollusks to lustrous objects of infatuation and conflict, a revealing look at pearls’ dark history. This book is a beautifully illustrated account of pearls through millennia, from fossils to contemporary jewelry. Pearls are the most human of gems, both miraculous and familiar. Uniquely organic in origin, they are as intimate as our bodies, created through the same process as we grow bones and teeth. They have long been described as an animal’s sacrifice, but until recently their retrieval often entailed the sacrifices of enslaved and indentured divers and laborers. While the shimmer of the pearl has enticed Roman noblewomen, Mughal princes, Hollywood royalty, mavericks, and renegades, encoded in its surface is a history of human endeavor, abuse, and aspiration—pain locked in the layers of a gleaming gem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Fine Arts Economy of China is a groundbreaking book that offers a fresh perspective on the economic aspects of Chinese fine arts. It explores how economic activities related to art have influenced art history, introducing new methods and ideas to the field of art history research. The book provides a detailed analysis of the production, exchange, and consumption of various art forms in China, including calligraphy, paintings, crafts, and architecture. It examines the evolution of art markets, the driving forces behind them, and how they were shaped by social, political, economic, and cultural factors throughout Chinese history. This work uniquely combines art history with economic aspects. It looks at the economic origins of art and identifies three main types of art sponsorship in China: royal, private, and public. The history of art economics in China is divided into three phases, each marked by different sponsorship trends. The book highlights the significance of art marketization, showing its impact not just on the economy, but also on cultural and artistic standards in society. A History of Fine Arts Economy of China is an important contribution to academic literature, offering a comprehensive view of the intersection between art and economics in Chinese history.
