Produktbeschreibung
This is a book on Art, Zen Buddhism, and Creativity of an interdisciplinary character, combining Zen-inspired works of art and text. The artistic component includes artworks by sixty-seven artists. The author does not write about the artists, rather, the artists are the ones who write about themselves and their works. The reader can look at the work of art and simultaneously read what the artists think about Life, Art, and the Process of Creativity. The reader is thus introduced to art directly, without having to go through the art historian or the critic. This direct introduction to art is a unique experience, for every one of us sees Life and conceives of Art differently, and consequently our interpretations are tinted by personal idiosyncrasies. The writing differs from the conventional art historian's approach for it is not meant to interpret, to clarify or to present; instead, it is another piece of art, inspired and stimulated by the specific works of art dealt herewith. The book reflects a personal Zen Mind experience. Art is comprehended in a holistic fashion: pictures or sculptures and words form one integral and inseparable unit.
