ОглавлениеPraise for The Art and Technique of Sumi-e, winner of the Good Design Award, presented by the American Booksellers Association.
“A real prize not only for Western artists who may be interested in the skills involved but as well for those lay enthusiasts who want to know more about this ancient and compelling art form.”
—Los Angeles Times
“The ambitious task of communicating Oriental painting tradition has been admirably realized in this volume through the delicate and sharp sensibilities of a first-rate Japanese teacher and a fine Western journalist.”
—Art in America
“This publication contains practically a whole course in sumi-e. Miss Thompson explains the material used, how the brush is held, how to get three tones in a single stroke, how to paint a bamboo… birds, goldfish, cuttlefish, animals and landscapes.”
—South China Morning Post
“The entire production is both pleasing to the eye and a practical work on the art of ink-painting. Beginners particularly will find the step-by-step instruction, starting with simple sembryo lines and ending with landscape techniques, of great value.”
—Asahi Evening News
“A very welcome (effort). Richly illustrated, the book demonstrates the basic strokes of Japanese calligraphy, and shows how they are put together in typical forms. Rare will be the reader who can resist trying a few pine trees.”
—Harford Times
