[Silvio · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a BEAUTIFUL book! I had goosebumps while reading, watching, sensing it... I really resonate with the Tao, don't resonate with taoist yoga so much (prefer Tantra), but OH how much I LOVE taoist art!

And oh how I love this "Art and Imagination" series!

[Trisha Roberson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Brief overview and symbolism with many plates of example art. Yin and yang forms and symbolism.

Quite interesting. Fine illustrations but preoccupied with the more magical aspects of Taoism.
