Mirror of Consciousness: Art, Creativity and Veda

by Anna Bonshek

"Mirror of Consciousness ambitiously traverses a wide range of themes pertaining to art, creativity, knowledge and theory. Its unique perspective lies in its exposition of Vedic Science as brought to light by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and in the application of the principles of this science to preliminary analysis of the Vastusutra Upanishad. No other publication has examined art and theory with the same comprehensive vision."

"To do justice to the topic of universal value in art and theory, the author has delved into several areas that impact the visual arts—late twentieth-century debates in art theory, models of historiography, new definitions of culture and tradition—in the context of the individual's own consciousness or simplest form of awareness. Though comprehensive and detailed, it will appeal to those who are curious about trends in the visual arts, the advent and impact of new technologies, and the development of collective consciousness in our time."

This book ambitiously traverses a wide range of themes pertaining to art creativity, knowledge and theory. To do justice to the topic of universal value in art and theory, the author has delved into several areas that impact the visual arts.
