Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Tibetan art is one of the last great artistic traditions to become known in the West. Like most European medieval art, it was primarily commissioned for religious purposes. In an expanded edition of a 1983 catalog, Pal combines the religious and artistic significance of the art while also placing it in historical context. The history of Tibetan thanka painting is well represented, and 65 new works have been added to the current edition. Recommended for large art collections and libraries emphasizing Asian studies.

By A Customer
This review is from: Art of Tibet: A Catalogue of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Collection (Hardcover)
This is an expensive, coffee table book of Tibetan Art but it is well worth it. The color photos are numerous and large. The text is well documented and very readable without being too dry and academic. Highly reccomended.
