Synopsis:
Acclaimed as the most important book ever published on Tibetan painting and sculpture when it first appeared in 1991, this landmark volume has now been expanded to include 81 additional examples of superb Tibetan sacred art. Wisdom and Compassion illustrates, explains, and celebrates 241 examples of the finest examples of Tibetan sacred art of the 9th-19th centuries, offering insights into the religious meaning and use of tangkas, Buddhist iconography, and the aesthetics of tangka paintings, sculptures, and mandalas. Clear essays enable the reader who is unfamiliar with Buddhism and Asian cultures to appreciate this profoundly spiritual art on its own terms.
