Literature:
The
history
of
Asian
art,
or
Eastern
art,
includes
a
vast
range
of
influences
from
various
cultures
and
religions.
Developments
in
Asian
art
historically
parallel
those
in
Western
art,
in
general
a
few
centuries
earlier.
Chinese
art,
Indian
art,
Korean
art,
Japanese
art,
each
had
significant
influence
on
Western
art,
and,
vice
versa.
Near
Eastern
art
also
had
a
significant
influence
on
Western
art.
Excluding
prehistoric
art,
the
art
of
Mesopotamia
represents
the
oldest
forms
of
Asian
art.













Chinese
art
is
visual
art
that,
whether
ancient
or
modern,
originated
in
or
is
practiced
in
China
or
by
Chinese
artists.
The
Chinese
art
in
the
Republic
of
China
(Taiwan)
and
that
of
overseas
Chinese
can
also
be
considered
part
of
Chinese
art
where
it
is
based
in
or
draws
on
Chinese
heritage
and
Chinese
culture.
Early
"stone
age
art"
dates
back
to
10,000
BC,
mostly
consisting
of
simple
pottery
and
sculptures.
After
this
early
period
Chinese
art,
like
Chinese
history,
is
typically
classified
by
the
succession
of
ruling
dynasties
of
Chinese
emperors,
most
of
which
lasted
several
hundred
years.













Chinese
art
has
arguably
the
oldest
continuous
tradition
in
the
world,
and
is
marked
by
an
unusual
degree
of
continuity
within,
and
consciousness
of,
that
tradition,
lacking
an
equivalent
to
the
Western
collapse
and
gradual
recovery
of
classical
styles.
The
media
that
have
usually
been
classified
in
the
West
since
the
Renaissance
as
the
decorative
arts
are
extremely
important
in
Chinese
art,
and
much
of
the
finest
work
was
produced
in
large
workshops
or
factories
by
essentially
unknown
artists,
especially
in
the
field
of
Chinese
porcelain.
Much
of
the
best
work
in
ceramics,
textiles
and
other
techniques
was
produced
over
a
long
period
by
the
various
Imperial
factories
or
workshops,
which
as
well
as
being
used
by
the
court
was
distributed
internally
and
abroad
on
a
huge
scale
to
demonstrate
the
wealth
and
power
of
the
Emperors.
In
contrast,
the
tradition
of
ink
wash
painting,
practiced
mainly
by
scholar-officials
and
court
painters
especially
of
landscapes,
flowers,
and
birds,
developed
aesthetic
values
depending
on
the
individual
imagination
of
and
objective
observation
by
the
artist
that
are
similar
to
those
of
the
West,
but
long
pre-dated
their
development
there.
After
contacts
with
Western
art
became
increasingly
important
from
the
19th
century
onwards,
in
recent
decades
China
has
participated
with
increasing
success
in
worldwide
contemporary
art.













Korean
arts
include
traditions
in
calligraphy,
music,
painting
and
pottery,
often
marked
by
the
use
of
natural
forms,
surface
decoration
and
bold
colors
or
sounds.













The
earliest
examples
of
Korean
art
consist
of
stone
age
works
dating
from
3000
BC.
These
mainly
consist
of
votive
sculptures
and
more
recently,
petroglyphs,
which
were
rediscovered.













This
early
period
was
followed
by
the
art
styles
of
various
Korean
kingdoms
and
dynasties.
Korean
artists
sometimes
modified
Chinese
traditions
with
a
native
preference
for
simple
elegance,
spontaneity,
and
an
appreciation
for
purity
of
nature.













The
Goryeo
Dynasty
(918–1392)
was
one
of
the
most
prolific
periods
for
a
wide
range
of
disciplines,
especially
pottery.













The
Korean
art
market
is
concentrated
in
the
Insadong
district
of
Seoul
where
over
50
small
galleries
exhibit
and
occasional
fine
arts
auctions.
Galleries
are
cooperatively
run,
small
and
often
with
curated
and
finely
designed
exhibits.
In
every
town
there
are
smaller
regional
galleries,
with
local
artists
showing
in
traditional
and
contemporary
media.
Art
galleries
usually
have
a
mix
of
media.
Attempts
at
bringing
Western
conceptual
art
into
the
foreground
have
usually
had
their
best
success
outside
of
Korea
in
New
York,
San
Francisco,
London
and
Paris.













Japanese
art
covers
a
wide
range
of
art
styles
and
media,
including
ancient
pottery,
sculpture,
ink
painting
and
calligraphy
on
silk
and
paper,
ukiyo-e
paintings
and
woodblock
prints,
kirigami,
origami,
dorodango,
and
more
recently
manga—modern
Japanese
cartooning
and
comics—along
with
a
myriad
of
other
types
of
works
of
art.
It
has
a
long
history,
ranging
from
the
beginnings
of
human
habitation
in
Japan,
sometime
in
the
10th
millennium
BC,
to
the
present.













Japan
has
been
subject
to
sudden
invasions
of
new
and
strange
ideas
followed
by
long
periods
of
minimal
contact
with
the
outside
world.
Over
time
the
Japanese
developed
the
ability
to
absorb,
imitate,
and
finally
assimilate
those
elements
of
foreign
culture
that
complemented
their
aesthetic
preferences.
The
earliest
complex
art
in
Japan
was
produced
in
the
7th
and
8th
centuries
in
connection
with
[Buddhism].
In
the
9th
century,
as
the
Japanese
began
to
turn
away
from
China
and
develop
indigenous
forms
of
expression,
the
secular
arts
became
increasingly
important;
until
the
late
15th
century,
both
religious
and
secular
arts
flourished.
After
the
Ōnin
War
(1467–1477),
Japan
entered
a
period
of
political,
social,
and
economic
disruption
that
lasted
for
over
a
century.
In
the
state
that
emerged
under
the
leadership
of
the
Tokugawa
shogunate,
organized
religion
played
a
much
less
important
role
in
people's
lives,
and
the
arts
that
survived
were
primarily
secular.













Painting
is
the
preferred
artistic
expression
in
Japan,
practiced
by
amateurs
and
professionals
alike.
Until
modern
times,
the
Japanese
wrote
with
a
brush
rather
than
a
pen,
and
their
familiarity
with
brush
techniques
has
made
them
particularly
sensitive
to
the
values
and
aesthetics
of
painting.
With
the
rise
of
popular
culture
in
the
Edo
period,
a
style
of
woodblock
prints
became
a
major
form
and
its
techniques
were
fine
tuned
to
produce
colorful
prints.
The
Japanese,
in
this
period,
found
sculpture
a
much
less
sympathetic
medium
for
artistic
expression;
most
Japanese
sculpture
is
associated
with
religion,
and
the
medium's
use
declined
with
the
lessening
importance
of
traditional
Buddhism.













Japanese
ceramics
are
among
the
finest
in
the
world
and
include
the
earliest
known
artifacts
of
their
culture.
In
architecture,
Japanese
preferences
for
natural
materials
and
an
interaction
of
interior
and
exterior
space
are
clearly
expressed.
