The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting: A Facsimile of the 1887-1888 Shanghai Edition (Bollingen Series (General)) by Mai-mai Sze
Originally published as Volume 2 of 'The Tao of Painting', this is the first English translation of the famous Chinese handbook, the "Chieh Tzu Yüan Hua Chuan" (original, 1679-1701). Mai-mai Sze has translated and annotated the texts of instructions, discussions of the fundamentals of painting, notes on the preparation of colors, and chief editorial prefaces.
The Way of Chinese Painting is based on Mai-mai Sze's "The Tao of Painting", published in two large volumes by the Bollingen Foundation in 1956... In this shorter version, the author defines the essence of Chinese painting as a form of art as well as a way of life.'
