Shunryu Suzuki (1905-1971), author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, (published by Weatherhill) which has sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide since it was first published in 1970, was a direct spiritual descendent of the thirteenth century Zen master Dogen. He taught in America from 1959 unitl his death in 1971, and was undoubtedly one of the most influencial Zen teachers of his time. Zenbga art, Zen-inspired brushstroke art, surprises and confounds our expectations. These masterworks were created by monks who were amateur painters and who used the paintings as a means to illustrate Zen principles. Although created two and three hundred years ago they have a startlingly modern appeal. The Gitter-Yelen collection of Zenga painting is widely regarded as one of the preeminent collections in the West.
