"The Tao of Painting" by Mai-Mai Sze is a study of the ritual arrangement of Chinese painting, including a translation of the 17th century "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Manual". Published by Bollingen, the book is a classic work for students of Chinese painting, art history and painters in general. The two-volume work explores the ideas that have traditionally motivated and governed Chinese painting, as well as technical methods. The second volume contains over two hundred detailed illustrations of how the paintings were made.
