[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> From: John Clark [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 1:09 PM To: Esau, Erika Subject: RE: [ARLIS-L] Chinese language art history materials Dear Erika, I am a bit surprised that no-one at UCLA or Stanford or UC Berkeley has this information, and in any case would also know what copies are in the California library system. But I recognize your need. The person to contact for a list of currently published Chinese language translations is Dr SHAO Yiyang at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. I only have her personal email so I will contact her directly and see what can be done. I will also ask for her official email if she has one, but Chinese scholars sometimes avoid using that. You might want your library to order my new book as attached. Best regards to all of your brood, John From: Esau, Erika [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, 29 November 2012 4:58 AM To: John Clark Subject: FW: [ARLIS-L] Chinese language art history materials Hi John: In my role as librarian at LACMA, I am on listservs for art librarians. We often get these kinds of questions. I just thought you might know of some resources in Chinese for art history texts. Hope all's well with you!

[log in to unmask] From: ARLIS/NA List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Heather Lowe Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 5:36 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] Chinese language art history materials Dear all, Our department has quite a few Chinese international students who have been struggling with our introductory/intermediate art history courses, so we are in search of some simplified Chinese language translations of art history texts for the following classes: Art 221 - Art History: Pre History - Middle Ages Art 222 - Art History: Africa, Asia, Oceania Art 223 - Art History: Renaissance-Present We don't always use the same textbook from year to year, so any text-book type resources on these subjects that are in simplified Chinese would be useful to students. Does anyone have experience purchasing or having such materials translated? If so, I would be very grateful for any tips, suggestions, or resources. Thank you in advance!
