The Art of Zen

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the artistic expression of Zen through Zenga, a unique form of painting developed by Japanese Zen masters after 1600. These masters conveyed their paths to enlightenment using bold brushstrokes and calligraphy, creating works that serve as both visual art and meditation aids. The simplicity and abstraction of the subjects reflect Zen principles, while some pieces humorously portray Zen masters and their followers, showcasing the diverse ways Zen can be communicated through art.
