Album of Chinese Brush Painting, Eighty Paintings and Ideas [signed] [first edition]

A delightful combination of East and West, Ning Yeh seems especially suited to write and illustrate a book designed to interpret Chinese Painting and philosophy to Westerners. The author has gleaned his material from sources not always available to English readers. The background information on Taoism and Confucianism is especially enlightening and may motivate some to examine their own philosophy and life style. The ancient Chinese legends about the basic subjects are as mystical and romantic as a Chinese landscape and may invite others to lay aside their albums for a moment of dreaming.
