Book Synopsis The Great Image Has No Form, Or On the Nonobject Through Painting by : François Jullien
Book excerpt: In premodern China, painters used imagery not to mirror the world, but to evoke unfathomable experience. Considering this art alongside the philosophical traditions that inform it, this book explores the 'nonobject', a notion exemplified by paintings that do not seek to represent observable surroundings.
