Book Synopsis Ceramics of Seduction by : Dawn Rooney

Book excerpt: Ceramics of Seduction: Glazed wares from Southeast Asia, provides an opportunity to see and learn about the broad range of wares, mainly glazed, produced in kilns located in five countries of present day Southeast Asia; Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand and Laos. Each country developed a fascinating ceramics tradition that reflects the creativity of their people and the skills of the anonymous potters. To appreciate their beauty one should keep in mind the main characteristics of these wares: simplicity of form, earthly qualities of the clay and glaze, and restrained decoration. Ceramics of Seduction illustrates some 280 pieces from the Francisco Capelo collection, assembled in the last 15 years and by whom a short foreword is included. This book is enriched greatly by an insightful essay by Dawn E. Rooney, an eminent art historian of Southeast Asia. AUTHOR: Dawn F.

Book Synopsis Southeast Asian Ceramics by : John N. Miksic
Download or read book Southeast Asian Ceramics written by John N. Miksic and published by Editions Didier Millet. This book was released on 2009 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeast Asia is known to many as a region teeming with tourist destinations, economic opportunities and ex-colonies, but a lesser known facet is its colourful and myriad cultures in which ceramics form an integral part of the social fabric. Focusing primarily on the Classical Period (800-1500 CE), this book views ancient Southeast Asian culture through the lens of ceramic production and trade, influenced but not completely overshadowed by its powerful neighbour, China. In this landmark publication, noted archaeologist and scholar John N. Miksic constructs a vivid picture of the development of Southeast Asia's unique ceramics. Along with three contributing authors - Pamela M. Watkins, Dawn F. Rooney and Michael Flecker - he summarizes the fruits of their research over the last forty years, beginning in Singapore with the founding of the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society in 1969. The result is a comprehensive and insightful overview of the technology, aesthetics and organization, both economic and political, of seemingly diverse territories in pre-colonial Southeast Asia. It is essential reading for all those with an interest in the economic history of the region, and also for anyone who seeks a better understanding of the brilliant but too often underestimated material culture of Southeast Asia.

Download or read book Thai Ceramic Art written by Nicol Guérin and published by Sun Tree Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is a detailed study of the 14th - 16th century Thai ceramic wares that played a role in the local Buddhist, Brahman and Animist religious ceremonies, approached from an art historical point of view. It also establishes the degree of interaction between the many cultures that influenced the form, design, function and usage of these wares, and draws on the underlying historic, religious and stylistic linkages with India, China, Sri Lanka, Burma Cambodia and other parts of Southeast Asia. A background to the history, politics and cultural practices of Thailand introduces the subject, followed by a systematic analysis of the Thai products. Throughout the study, comparisons are made with other Asian cultures, decorative styles and chronology, all of which add further dimensions to a hitherto relatively unexplored art form. This voluminous and painstaking research was undertaken by the authors over a period of twenty years, inspired by their personal interest in the subject. The resultant major reference work on Thai ecclesiastical ceramics has had the help of many international museum curators, archaeologists, collectors and dealers. The authors have had access to practically all known major collections around the world, many of which have not been published before. Aided by over 830 photographs, maps and specially commissioned line drawings, the subject is explicitly illustrated, compiled and discussed in great detail. By drawing these different aspects together, this major study should appeal equally to collectors, researchers and those with a wider interest in the rich religious and cultural life of the area.
