GULIK, Robert van. Chinese Pictorial Art as Viewed by the Connoisseur Notes on the Means and Methods of Traditional Chinese Connoisseurship of Pictorial Art, Based Upon a Study of the Art of Mounting Scrolls in China and Japan. Rome: Istituto Italiano per il Medio ed Estremo Oriente. 1958.

4to. Publisher’s red cloth, lettered and ruled in gilt to boards and spine; illustrated dust jacket with woodcut seal and calligraphy by the author; pp. xxxvii, frontispiece, [3], 537, [1 (blank)], with 160 plates; cloth pocket to rear pastedown containing the original supplementary booklet (12 pages) with 42 mounted samples of Japanese and Chinese paper; jacket torn and chipped with old repair reinforced by a paper backing to the reverse, corners and spine slightly bumped, foxing to prelims and edges of text block, light occasional foxing internally; previous bookseller’s label to rear endpaper; very good; ownership signature of Sherman E. Lee in black ink to upper left corner of front pastedown (see below).

First edition of Van Gulik’s “magnum opus”, no. 518 of 950 copies, complete with the rarely retained booklet of Japanese and Chinese paper samples.

“Thus appeared at last what I consider my magnum opus on Chinese pictorial art, which I had been working on since 1940”. A scholar of Chinese history and visual culture, Van Gulik devoted decades to the study of the aesthetics and materials of East Asian painting. His deep engagement with these traditions also informed his own artistic practice, most evident in the woodblock-style illustrations accompanying his Judge Dee novels.

Provenance: From the library of Sherman E. Lee (1918-2008), the distinguished American scholar of Asian art and long-time director of the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Evers, p. 19.

Good Christmas gift for family members.
Format: Paperback
I got this as a small gift for a fellow Star Wars fan in my family for the holidays. We both like chatting it up when it comes to Star Wars and I thought this graphic novel would do the trick for a small gift. It was great!! The illustrations are detailed and follow the movie plot closely which is good.

Worth every penny
Format: Paperback
Great adaptation. Art is outstanding, story is true to the film but with added depth and insight. Really nice book. My kid loves it, thumbs through it almost every day and we’ve already read through it together a bunch of times.

Just solid
Format: Kindle
The art is decent and the narration is structured, yet it’s not the best story of the sequel trilogy, but it’s definitely better than Rise of Skywalker in my opinion.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is presented a little better.
Format: Paperback
It takes cringe moments in the movie, and represents then better. The great Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is still portrayed as the pathetic, washed up, deadbeat hermit - but you begin feel sorry for him in this comic book presentation. A lot of it is narrated by Luke himself, and you feel his iner turmoil. Not to give spoilers for the few who missed the movie, story elements that bothered many fans are still there, Extracurricular parts, such as “your mama” jokes and getting green milk from the creature, is, thankfully, omitted.
