Illuminating Wisdom brings art and wisdom together in a beautiful
celebration of some of the world's most inspiring philosophical,
spiritual and literary quotes. Approximately 80 quotes have been
drawn from some of the great wisdom and literary traditions of both
East and West, as well as from inspiring people throughout history
noted for their practical wisdom. The quotes are presented in
exquisite calligraphy by Deirdre Hassed, a leading professional
calligrapher. She makes use of a range of styles - from the
traditional to the contemporary - and varied techniques such as
gilding, collage, glasswork, letterpress and lino printing.
Accompanying each artwork is text by Craig Hassed, an international
expert in mindfulness, that provides background on the quote's
author, explores the wisdom tradition to which it belongs, and
offers deep insight into the meaning of the quote. The result is
both a work of art and a collection of tradition; a book that will
educate and inspire. Illuminating Wisdom is the perfect book to
take in all at once, or turn to occasionally for reassuring words
of wisdom. Learn about cultures far and wide through the words that
have shaped them, brought to life by gorgeous calligraphy in this
relaxing, illuminating read.
