As multi-functional as they are artistically important, folding and standing screens assume a variety of roles unique to the cultures of East Asia. Frequently used in dwellings, temples, and tombs, East Asian screens have a rich history from ancient times up to the modern period, and yet they rarely have been examined as an art form in themselves. This volume of essays makes the art of screens its focus of inquiry. Originally written for the Center for the Art of East Asia’s 2011 symposium, “The Screen in East Asia and Beyond,” these nine essays take a fresh look at the complexity of this traditional art form by presenting the most recent art historical research and analysis of archaeological evidence. Starting from Bronze Age China, the essays address the historic use of screens in East Asia, the materials used in their creation, and the significance of their artistic content. The essays explore a variety of philosophical, religious, political, aesthetic, and gender issues related to the production of the screens. These scholarly studies are suitable for serious students and can also be appreciated by a broad range of art audiences.

Buddhist Calligraphy Collection
Institute of Chinese Buddhist Culture. Hardcover. 書法是建立在漢字基礎上的藝術，除了其線條、布白的藝術美之外，內外更含有一定的思想，反映人們的審美與精神境界，藉以抒發內心的懷抱及理想。通過筆、墨、紙，印章構成黑、白、紅色的抽象化、符號化的藝術作品，經由文字交流，最能直接道出人生哲學意味，為東方藝術的精髓，在教化作用上有其獨特之處。 四十年前，中國佛教協會成立之初，便向全國佛教徒提出「莊嚴國土，利樂有情」的號召，希望佛教徒不僅致力於物質的文明，更當發揚國民的精神素養，今藉著「中國佛教文化出版有限公司」出版的《佛教嘉言書法集》，正好通過諸書法家的墨寶來從事「莊嚴國土，利樂有情」的事業。 《佛教嘉言書法集》選編了佛教經、論、語錄中有益於修身處世的嘉言一百零八條，分別恭請六十一位當代書法家書寫，其中有年逾九十的長者，有任務繁重的教授和專家等，難得他們都欣然命筆，透過豐富多采的書法藝術，表現佛教教義的內涵和人生哲理。 書中配以簡潔文字，清楚介紹各書法家及嘉言出處，令讀者賞玩書法之餘，又領悟修身養性的哲理，淨化心靈。本書於一九九三年榮獲「香港最佳印製書籍獎」。 Calligraphy is an art based on Chinese characters.
