Oriental art
A thing of beauty is always fresh, vital, principled, and divine. [1]
Some samples of its masterpieces:
Benares' temple in India
We are the same as plants, as trees, as other people, as the rain that falls. We consist of that which is around us, we are the same as everything. Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. Buddha.
Chinese painting
Making contemporary art can throw up obstacles but it does not worry me. I am eternally optimistic; I am Chinese. Cai Guo-Qiang.
A thousand arm Avalokiteshvara from Tibet
