As an art historian with a strong interest in all of the different cultures of the world, I have been to some wonderful and fascinating places.
But never anywhere quite as dramatic and surprising as China, where I spent almost three months last year for BBC Four’s Art Of China.

China's famed fake art village is turning over a new leaf
More than half of the world's oil paintings come from one workshop in China. Located in China's manufacturing hub, Shenzhen, the Da Fen company is the world leader in the mass production of art, exporting millions of replicas of Van Goghs, Monets, and Picasso's to the world. Now its trying its hand at mass produced original art, as the company's founder, 69-year-old artist Huang Jiang, told Newsday.

uddhism and Buddhist Art
Buddhism and Buddhist Art
The fifth and fourth centuries B.C. were a time of worldwide intellectual ferment. It was an age of great thinkers, such as Socrates and Plato, Confucius and Laozi. In India, it was the age of the Buddha, after whose death a religion developed that eventually spread far beyond its homeland. Siddhartha, the prince who was to become the Buddha, was born into the royal family of Kapilavastu, a small kingdom in the Himalayan foothills. His was a divine conception and miraculous birth, at which... More »
Chinese Buddhist Sculpture
Chinese Buddhist Sculpture
Long-lasting encounters between Indian and Chinese Buddhism and the beliefs, practices, and imagery associated with their respective traditions remains one of the most fascinating in world history. Buddhism began with the life of one man, Siddhartha Gautama, who died around 400 B.C. Now revered as Buddha Shakyamuni, Siddhartha was born in the northeastern reaches of the Indian subcontinent (present-day Nepal) during a time of great economic, social, and cultural turmoil. According to a world... More »
Chinese Calligraphy
Chinese Calligraphy
Calligraphy, or the art of writing, was the visual art form prized above all others in traditional China. The genres of painting and calligraphy emerged simultaneously, sharing identical tools—namely, brush and ink. Yet calligraphy was revered as a fine art long before painting; indeed, it was not until the Song dynasty, when painting became closely allied with calligraphy in aim, form, and technique, that painting shed its status as mere craft and joined the higher ranks of the fine...

Art of China
Chinese art is increasingly making itself felt across the world, but while it has long fascinated people,
it still remains little understood in Western culture. Now, in this landmark series, Andrew Graham-Dixon sets out to discover what makes Chinese art and sculpture so intriguing and unique. With access to the very best
of China's art over 3000 years, Andrew explores the historical context in which the paintings, sculptures
and other pieces were created so that we can better appreciate them. The series takes Andrew on an extraordinary
journey around China, visiting stunning locations that inspired Chinese artists over the centuries as
he assesses Chinese art from 1000 BC to the present day.

Art of China - Episode 3

March 12, 2015
Andrew Graham-Dixon charts the journey from imperial to modern - the glorious rise and calamitous
fall of China's last dynasty. Rulers were so entranced by the spell of western art that they
failed to notice the rise of western dominance, with disastrous consequences. The subsequent
profound identity crisis
saw China's artists struggle with outside influence. It was an age of crisis, which ultimately
led to bloody revolution and rebirth. After tyrant Mao's Cultural Revolution and Tiananmen Square,
does its new art reveal a
different side to the modern China we think we know?

Andrew Graham-Dixon travels to the Yellow mountains in southern China to understand the
power of Chinese landscape painting. The period from the 10th to the 15th century - from
the Song to the Ming dynasties - was the golden age of art in China. Andrew discovers an
emperor so in love with art and beauty
that he neglected to rule his country and scholar artists who fled the Mongol invasion
to immerse themselves in nature, combining wondrous landscape painting and calligraphy.
While Europe was still in the Dark
Ages, Chinese art was being reborn.

Andrew Graham-Dixon pieces together the spectacular recent discoveries of ancient
art that are re-defining China's understanding of its origins. He comes face to
face with an extraordinary collection of sophisticated alien-like bronze masks
created nearly four millennia ago and travels to the
Yellow River to explore the tomb of a warrior empress where he discovers the
origins of calligraphy. Always seeking to understand art in its historical context,
Andrew visits the tomb of the first emperor and comes face
e to face with the Terracotta Army. He ends his journey in western China, looking
at the impact of the arrival of Buddhism from India on the wondrous paintings
and sculptures of the Dunhuang caves
