E-book Masterpieces of the J. Paul Getty Museum : European Sculpture

I forget who first jokingly defined sculpture as something you bump into when you step back to look at a painting.

E-book The land of footprints

Geographically isolated, the country was heavily influenced by powerful China and was often used as a bridge to the mainl…
