Zen, Rocks & Waters

63 pp. "This book of woodcuts based on brush drawings, with an illuminating introduction and commentaries on each print by Frederic Speigelberg, is a rare and beautiful expression of the Zen style in the visual arts. The author traces the Zen spirit from its beginnings in the commingling of Buddhism and Taoism in China between twelve hundred and fourteen hundred years ago and uses it as a key to the understanding of pictures which not only represent nature but point to the Tao."
