[DOC] European Romanticism: A Brief History with Documents by Warren Breckman at Arts-Photography

Description

This book of classic Asian poetry and ink brush paintings is an important piece of cultural history and a wonderful addition to any collection of Asian art and poetry.With the creation of the Asian poetry and sumi-e paintings within this volume; the artist and author have attempted to convey their interpretation of the variety; beauty; and novelty of nature and human endeavor.They would argue that the power of their work lies not only in what is explicitly conveyed; but what is implicit as a consequence of interpretation and extrapolation by the viewer. The latter must be receptive and interactive to achieve enlightenment and self-actualization.It is their hope that through this work; the viewer also would become one with nature; as exemplified by the Japanese term kensho ("contemplation;" or to "turn a Zen light on things"); as part of the process of their personal development toward complete insight and enlightenment. They wish for the viewer enrichment and ennoblement.
