電子版圖錄:
本書最初於1925年出版,共四冊,現已幾乎絕版,由上世紀最傑出的亞洲藝術史學者之一所撰寫,是迄今西方語言中對中國佛教雕塑最全面的專著。在這部鉅著中,喜龍仁(Osvald Sirén)首先從宏觀角度對中國佛教雕塑進行了系統性的介紹與類型學總覽,隨後對逾900件青銅、石雕與木雕造像進行圖像呈現、年代推定與詳細解說,涵蓋自五世紀的北魏起,歷經北齊、隋、唐、宋,直至十四世紀元代中國佛教雕塑創新衰竭為止的整個歷史時段。
書中所選標本遍及北美、歐洲與日本各大重要收藏機構,亦包括中國境內石窟寺、建築遺址與帝王陵墓中的原址遺存。許多造像於本書首度出版時尚屬首次見於印刷品,而其中相當數量今已遺失。此外,尤為重要的是,西蓮的研究完成於高仿贗品大量出現之前,為佛教雕塑研究提供了一個未受污染的學術基準。
本版本為經典著作的數位重編,合併原版分冊中的文字與圖版於兩卷之中,並應用數位技術對多數原始照片進行高清重製與放大。全書超過一千頁,包括一篇125頁的導論文章、圖版說明、索引,以及逾600幅照片圖版,涵蓋約900件作品,是中國藝術史研究不可或缺的重要資源。(注意:本書為電子版)
Digital Version:
Originally published in 1925 in a four-volume edition now virtually unobtainable, this work, by one of the foremost Asian scholars of the last century, remains the most comprehensive treatise on Chinese Buddhist sculpture in any western language. In this monumental study, Siren commences with a comprehensive introduction and survey of the genre. He then illustrates, dates and describes over 900 examples in bronze, stone and wood, ranging in date from the fifth century Wei Dynasties, through the Northern Qi, Sui, Tang, and Song periods to the end of Chinese sculptural innovation in the fourteenth century Yuan Dynasty. Representative examples are included from all of the great collections of North America, Europe and Japan as well as in situ examples from cave temples, architectural ruins and imperial tombs in China. Many of the items illustrated appeared in print in this volume for the first time and a significant number of them have since been lost; it is also noteworthy that Siren's study was produced prior to the massive pollution of the genre by high quality fakes, which has occurred in more recent years. This new edition of a classic study on Chinese art history has been produced in two volumes, bringing together descriptions and related illustrations into the same volumes (the original edition had these separated) and employing digital technology to enhance and enlarge many of the original photographs. Total over 1,000 pp., including 125 pp. introductory essay, plate descriptions, index, and over 600 photographic plates illustrating some 900 objects.
