This latest philosophical text by John Sallis is inspired by the
work of contemporary Chinese painter Cao Jun. It carries out a
series of philosophical reflections on nature, art, and music by
taking up Cao Jun's art and thought, with a focus on questions of
the elemental. Sallis's reflections are not a matter of simply
relating art works to philosophical thought, as theoretical
insights and developments run throughout Cao Jun's writings and
inform many of his artistic works. Sallis maintains abundant points
of contact with Chinese philosophical traditions but also with
Western philosophy. In these reflections on art, Sallis poses a
critique of mimesis and considers the relation of painting to
music. He affirms his conviction that the artist must always turn
to nature, especially as reflections on the earth and sky delimit
the scale and place of what is human. Full-color illustrations
enhance this provocative and penetrating text.
