<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Wen C. Fong established America's first program in East Asian art history at Princeton University, where he taught Chinese art from 1954 to 1999. During this time, he supervised more than thirty PhD students, most of whom have gone on to hold professorships or museum positions throughout the United States, East Asia, and Europe. This two-volume book honors Professor Fong's extraordinary half-century career at Princeton and the Metropolitan Museum of Art by gathering almost forty essays on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art history, written by his students and by some of his lifelong colleagues in this field of study. These full-length essays address a wide range of subjects, building bridges in many directions, from early jades and bronzes through traditional painting and prints, to photography, cinema, and modern museum practice. The diversity, depth, and originality of these essays make this work a monumental contribution to the study of the arts of East Asia. <p/> The book includes an interview of Professor Fong, conducted by Jerome Silbergeld, and a bibliography of Fong's work.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This festschrift, gargantuan in size and scope, features 39 essays by international authorities that treat East Asian art from pit dwellings in 5000 BCE to 21st century films.-- "Choice"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jerome Silbergeld</b> is the P.
