Man lives by Truth and Beauty; it is only relatively recently that Schuon--widely recognized for his metaphysical writings--has become known as a painter of great skill and unique insight. This volume presents for the first time 125 full color plates of Schuon's work, plus many more in black and white. The subjects here are predominantly taken from the fascinating world of the American Indians. Also included, however, are many canvases concerning the mystery of celestial and human femininity. The main features of Schuon's art are the nobility of the subject, the precision of the drawing and the "impressionistic" vibration of the surface or colors.
