Decorative end papers. 246 pp. with 141 works in color plus additional color and bw illus. Focusing primarily on decorative and religious objects from the nineteenth century (along with some earlier and later works), the art book brings to light the lively, yet often strained, interchange between the regions of central and northern Thailand (Siam) and Burma. Thailand and Burma are neighboring countries that are approximately the same size in area and population and have many cultural features in common. Yet they have traditionally been adversaries. This book explores some of the elements that have both drawn the countries together and driven them apart. It contains incisive essays by leading scholars as well as detailed entries relating to nearly 150 spectacular works of arton view at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco from October 23, 2009, through January 10, 2010many of which have never before been on public display in the West. While representing the latest art historical scholarship, the book is intended for the general public.
