BRINKER, HELMUT.
Zen in the Art of Painting.
London: Arkana, 1987. 1850630585. "Reveals all the mystery of the Zen approach to painting..Zen painters, working from the basis of religious enlightenment, see the world around them with changed eyes. This is reflected in the seven qualities of their art - asymmetry, simplicity, sublimity, naturalness, depth, freedom, repose and consistency - some of which transcend purely aesthetic values and point to lofty moral and religious ideals." Pp.159, occasional black & white plates, slight bend to top corner of pages. Paperback, minor creasing to covers. G+.
