Coming from India, yet having links with recent trends in Western art, Tantra combines eroticism, mathematics, magic and metaphysics in a view of life which offers a uniquely successful antidote to the anxieties of our time. In this comprehensive survey of Tantnc art, a lively text and a striking collection of illustrations show how Tantra invites us to follow its example through a meditative and visual exploration of self and the world. 'A book to have for beauty and interest, which may well be a guide to an understanding of life' (Arts Review). 'A splendidly studious and timely interpretation of the art form' (The Scotsman). 'The author writes with conviction and persuasive enthusiasm .. the illustrations are beautiful throughout' (British Book News).
