ART –

Originally published as Volume 2 of The Tao of Painting, this is the first English translation of the famous Chinese handbook, the “Chieh Tzu Yuan Hua Chuan” (original, 1679-1701). Mai-mai Sze has translated and annotated the texts of instructions, discussions of the fundamentals of painting, notes on the preparation of colours, and chief editorial prefaces.

“The Mustard Seed Garden will always be one of the greatest manuals of the most marvellous painting the world has ever known, and one cannot be too grateful for having it, with its commentary, available in English.”–Journal of the Royal Central Asian Society.
