Summary:

Bogle first became exposed to Asian art in 1958, while in Thailand to work on a city plan for Bangkok with a team of professionals. His prior art history studies at the U. of Pennsylvania had surveyed only works of Western cultures. Captivated by what he saw in Thailand in the late 1950s, he immediately began collecting Southeast Asian paintings and other art forms--a passion which he shares in this beautiful sampling of Southeast Asian religious paintings inspired by Theravada Buddhism. Illustrated with some 140 full-color images, the text includes background information on the genre and the historical development of Southeast Asian art as compared to Chinese, Japanese, and Indian art. The images are organized into thematic chapters, and each image is accompanied by detailed explanatory notes. Oversize: 9.25x12.25". Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
