Description
Paul Moss’s 'Between Heaven and Earth: Secular and Divine Figural Images in Chinese Paintings and Objects' is a richly illustrated art catalogue published by Sydney L. Moss Ltd. in London in 1988. It presents 66 works of Chinese art, including 19 paintings and 47 objects, exploring the relationship between human and divine figures in Chinese artistic traditions. The catalogue examines how sacred figures can be portrayed with human qualities, while ordinary people may be depicted with an almost spiritual idealism. Featuring detailed descriptions and colour illustrations, including fold-out plates, this specialist volume offers an illuminating look at Chinese figural art and the cultural ideas behind it.
