A surprising look at the China of TodayBy Fred CrotonFirst the cover: Realizing the photo of a distant Eiffel Tower is not from Paris; but China does not prepare for the surprise and amusement awaiting while leafing through photographs of The Amsterdam Railroad Station; A massive French Chateau; a Dutch residential street; an English village all done in perfect imitation and ALL in China.Then the best part: Blanca Boskers careful delineation of the tradition; taken from scroll painting of honest copying; imitation; adaptation; and perhaps; a bit of fraud that sometimes occurs. She extrapolates from this to an important discussion of the China of today. Its prosperity; enormous social change and upheaval; all through the lens of domestic architecture. Quite an achievement !!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
