Description

136 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 25 x 31 cm. German and English. Sumi-e, East Asian ink painting inspired by Zen Buddhism, is an inspiration to art lovers not only in China and Japan but worldwide. This meditative, minimal, subjective art form is based on a deep, respectful feeling for nature, and points beyond its aesthetic value to high moral and religious ideals. The free style of ink painting is composed of powerful, dynamic strokes of the brush. It expresses the Zen belief that enlightenment can come like a bolt of lightning. That which is hinted at is often of more importance than that which is painted. The sparseness of means, the reference to the essence of things – this is the heart of sumi-e painting. Sumi-e is more than an art form, it is also a spiritual path. In this book, Rita Böhm, an international sumi-e master, demonstrates that an understanding of this noble art form can be accessible to anyone who feels inspiration or enjoyment in the contemplation of a sumi-e painting. The over 150 monochromatic and colored works of sumi-e – flower, bird, landscape, and Zen paintings – are a representative cross-section of the lifework of this artist, who has been living and teaching in Berlin since 2002.
