Void//In Art?brings together the author's many years of meditation
practice with his knowledge of art history and?the sacred wisdom
texts of Eastern philosophy to show how the experience of the Great
Void of ultimate reality, a central aspect of the meditation
experience, is embodied in different ways in?mostly esoteric Hindu,
Buddhist, and Taoist art as well as in the work of several modern
and contemporary Eastern and Western artists. Lesser metaphysical
and existential voids are?also discussed in their appropriate
contexts. The Eastern section of? the book is largely? organized by
different cultures and genres while in the Western section the
examination of the works of art is?constructed in a more
chronological fashion to show the rationale behind the
basic?abhorrence of the Void in art until the early 19th century.
Throughout the book the importance of the Void in art and life is
emphasized.?
