Very nice

IN MEMORY OF MARIO PONTILLOI have a reprint 1979.Excellent illustrations throughout the book.Please don't hesitate to check out my book that I published while in the U.S. Navy in 2003:"Under the Rose: Poetry of Tragedy, Essence, and Romance"

A good book about Taoism and Chinese ART!!

The title of this book is misleading; it is not a philosophy book but rather primarily an art book. However, it is a nice book for someone interested in how Taoist thought influenced Chinese art. There is a short, thirty page, introduction which is actually quite good and informative. It's brief account of Taoist inner alchemy (yoga) was well-done. There are many nice color pictures of Chinese art with commentary to show and explain how Taoist thought was expressed and took form in Chinese art. I would highly recommend this book for someone who is familiar with Taoist thought and wishes to explore it from another angle.
