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.
