Other Information

Robert Beer, a British artist, has studied and practised Tibetan thangka painting for the last thirty years. One of the first westerners to become actively involved in this art form, he initially studied for a period of five years in India and Nepal with several of the finest Tibetan artists living at the time. Since 1975 he has lived in England working consistently on developing the artistic skills, vision, patience and understanding of this highly complex subject, as well as the historical and cultural contexts within which it arises. Over the last eighteen years he has concentrated on producing an extensive series of iconographical brush drawings depicting the symbols, lineage holders and major deities which occur in the vast spectrum of Tibetan art. This book on symbols and motifs is the first part of this series to be published.
