The Art of Central Asia is a superbly illustrated explanation and critique of the ancient art forms of many diverse and fascinating countries. Spanning the period from the death of Alexander the Great, when Greek culture was introduced into Bactria, to the end of classical, Mazdean, and Buddhist civilizations in Central Asia, when Islamic hordes wreaked destruction upon their culture in seventh century a.d., the book is a vivid chronicle of the artistic heritage of the whole area.
