Rawson, Philip : The Art of Tantra
- description
- additional information
In this comprehensive study of Tantric art, Rawson provides a meditative & visual exploration of the self & the universe. Originating in India in 600CE & increasingly linked with recent trends of Western art, Tantra is a metaphysical fusion of eroticism, mathematics & magic, a diffuse worldview in which a cult of ecstasy reigns. It's thru the astonishing collection of illustrations in the book--16th century engravings of the process of Creative Generation, reliefs of Hindu goddesses made for worship, a Tibetan magician's costume made of human bone--that he makes accessible the mystical & fundamentally undefinable world of Tantra. 169 illus., 25 colored.
