WORLDS OF TRANSFORMATION: Tibetan Art of Wisdom and Compassion

by Marylin Rhie & Robert Thurman

If you liked the Wisdom and Compassion art book, you will love this massive edition of Tibetan Buddhist paintings. Hundreds of sublime Tibetan thangka paintings from the premier New York collection of Shelley and Donald Rubin span the 12th through 20th centuries and the spectrum of Tibetan artistic schools. There is an analysis of each painting's iconography and religious meaning, style, regional lineage, and sources. David Jackson discusses the paintings of the Kagyupa order in the Rubin Collection.
