La peinture en Orient et en Extrême-Orient : Chine, Japon, Mésapotamie, Perse, Inde musulmane
A 1913 French survey of painting in the East and Far East, covering China, Japan, Mesopotamia, Persia and Muslim India, published in Paris by the Marquis de Tressan for general readers of art history. Its pages pair reproductions of miniatures, Chinese portraits and Japanese temple scenes with dense text, so a designer can see how Islamic and East Asian painters handled figures, foliage and architecture on a small scale. Look at the flat colour fields, tight framing and calligraphic borders for layout ideas.
