The Art of Catholic Church in China

by Liu Ping

With very few historical data available, by carrying out on-the-spot investigations this writer tries to present the history and development of Chinese Catholic art since the Tang Dynasty in a clear, logical way. Both aesthetic conceptions and artistic forms of Roman Catholicism in China have been very well expounded in this book which places emphasis on the development of church art especially in Beijing area since the government adopted the reform and open policy over 30 years ago.
