| DESCRIPTION: “Tibetan Art: Tracing the Development of Spiritual Ideals and Art in Tibet, 600 – 2000 AD” is a treasure trove of the imagination and creativity Tibet has harbored over the centuries. Ms Heller carefully places Tibetan art into an historical and social setting, and has richly illustrated this work with over 120 color and 147 black and white photographs. The thoughtfully constructed and readable text adds greatly to the enjoyment of the art itself. Heller shows how the aesthetics of Buddhism, monasteries, Dali Lamas, renowned artists and outside influences, together with the country’s topography, have over the centuries all played a part in the development of artistic styles. A fine addition to anyone's Asian library, either specialist or beginner.
