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.'

(Excerpt from back cover)

Includes selections from her translation of the 17th century classic "Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting."
