From: NAPRA ReView Over 90 images are gathered here, ranging from immense Buddha-as-building to whimsical ink drawings, from gargantuan feet to woodchip figurines, emaciated fasting Buddhas to Alec Fray's "Cyber Buddha"--Olinsky has masterfully juxtaposed impressions of the great teacher as seen by artists all over the world. An authoritative introduction by Robert A.F. Thurman provides a lucid summary of how Buddha worship developed, and explains the significance of representational images to devotees. This wonderful book can be enjoyed on many levels, not least as a compendium of artistic expression and religious fervor., From: NAPRA ReView Over 90 images are gathered here, ranging from immense Buddha-as-building to whimsical ink drawings, from gargantuan feet to woodchip figurines, emaciated fasting Buddhas to Alec Fray's "Cyber Buddha"--Olinsky has masterfully juxtaposed impressions of the great teacher as seen by artists all over the world.

Synopsis
Edited and designed by Frank Olinsky, founding art director of Tricycle magazine, Buddha Book presents over ninety sacred images of the Buddha -- both Eastern and Western, ancient and modern -- in the form of paintings, carvings, sculptures, photographs, and drawings. From rare museum pieces and exquisite temple art to striking modern interpretations by such artists as David Byrne, Henri Matisse, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Nam June Paik, Buddha Book invites readers to contemplate the many faces of enlightenment.

- k***l (218)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent transaction! I got a fantastic price on a beautiful book, even better than described. Shipping was fast and reasonable. The book came in a padded plastic mailing envelope. It always makes me a bit nervous when these nice books are not in a box. However it arrived safely, and I'm very happy with my book and this transaction. I would definitely buy from this seller again. A+++++++++++ :) :)
- e***t (432)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis set shipped in excellent time, and arrived in good condition. Considering it contained all the volumes in the series, I thought it was an excellent value. The box the books are stored in is pretty banged up, but the books themselves are in excellent condition. This was just as described in the original posting. Would recommend this seller to others.The Chronicles Of Narnia Box Set 1-7 C.S. Lewis Vintage Scholastic 1987 PB (#335882678261)
