Making Sense of Buddhist Art & Architecture is designed to
equip the cultural tourist and art student with the means to
interpret each painting, building, or artifact in terms of the
iconography and symbolism of the Buddhist religion. With reference
to 100 clearly illustrated and diverse historical works, readers
will learn to identify the telling details that mean so much to
Buddhist devotees. The book's layout is both visually striking and
accessible. Each double-page spread features a full-page colour
photograph of either a detail of the work or its context, depending
on the subject, with a second photograph chosen to illustrate
important aspects of the work. Alongside is a detailed exposition
of the work's significance in Buddhist art history and philosophy,
with key historical facts about the work, including where it may be
seen today. By tracing the paths between Buddhist belief and
artistic intention, Making Sense of Buddhist Art & Architecture
deepens understanding not only of Buddhist art and architecture but
also of Buddhism itself.
