In this fascinating, informal approach to art appreciation, an eminent Indian scholar reveals the crucial difference between merely looking at and really seeing painting and sculpture, drawing and architecture. And to the open-minded and sensitive observer, he shows how simple perceptions can be transmuted into darshanathe pure delight of union with the inner life of a work of art.The presentation is poetic, not technical, directed toward the general reader rather than the specialist. The author begins by symbolizing certain powers of the imagination as the "e;seven little-known birds of the inner eye."e; Then he traces these energies of the "e;body-soul"e; through a wide range of aesthetic responsefrom the first, almost involuntary discriminations lines, colors, and forms to the insights attained by the "e;third eye"e; of total vision.Illustrated and discussed are the superb murals and breathtaking architecture of India; ancient symbols and modern experiments; the landscape paintings of Song China and the works of major Western artists.
