A 15th century, European invention, bookplates are now recognized as not only indications of the owner of a book, but also specimens of a bygone era for decorative fashion.
Six talented Guangzhou-based printmaking artists have created bookplates for Guangdong Museum of Art's collection of historical books on Chinese art's development and the museum has put on an exhibition of their works since June 7. These young artists have included their understandings of the books in the bookplates so that visitors can take a glance at China's art history, while appreciating the beauty of the printmaking art.
9 am-5 pm, until Aug 7 (closed on Mondays). Library for Liberal Arts Collections, Guangdong Museum of Art, 38 Yanyu Lu, Ersha Island, Yuexiu district, Guangzhou. 020-8735-1468.
