Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This coloring book contains 89 images of white things, printed on white paper. Is one to fill in these images with a white crayon? Or is one to let go of the crayon and practice the Taoist concept of wu-wei (actionless action)?

Why color white objects white?
  • White is the absence of color which contains all colors.
  • It's easy to keep within the lines.
  • It helps one to focus on process, not results.
  • It fulfills Zen Master Han-Shan's invitation to "leap the world's ties and sit among the white clouds."
  • It is a rejection of artifice, an unveiling of the void.
  • It is an antidote to art theory.
Why not color white objects white?
  • In Zen terms, the absence of coloring contains all coloring.

I've shown this book to several of my friends and they've all appreciated it for its creativity, depth, and uniqueness. This would make a fine gift for anyone who has a taste for the unique or ascribes to minimalism.
