Inkplay in Microcosm, Inside Painted Chinese Snuff Bottles, The Humphrey K.F. Hui Collection

"Inkplay in Microcosm, Inside Painted Chinese Snuff Bottles, The Humphrey K.F. Hui Collection"..
Extra large, 333 action packed pages covering a comprehensive selection of 156 inside painted bottles of 31 artist spanning from Jiaqing of the Qing to the Republic. There is a pretty cool part in the beginning that talks about and gives examples to paintings, seal stones, and carvings that most are not aware that ding Ezhrong was well versed in.. Also sketches by Ye Zhongsan..
If your familiar with Peter Lams article about Gan Xuan within the October 2002 Arts of Asia magazine, this book has parts of that, but goes much deeper covering Gan Xuan to the fullest..
A must have book if your passionate about Early and Middle Period IP artists.. I am thrilled to finally have a copy..
