Editorial Reviews

Historian Cohen studied how, when, and why Chinese and Japanese art became part of American life, learning along the way about museums and curators, art dealers and art historians, art and imperialism, art and politics, and art as an instrument of foreign policy. His study shows the substantial impact of Asian culture in America. This presentation contains 34 b&w reproductions of significant pieces. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
