The Amarillo Museum
of Art in Amarillo, Texas, continues to develop its holdings of Asian
art. Thanks in great part to Mr. V. J. Jordan Jr., an area collector
and community leader, the Museum was able to present an exhibition in
the Spring of 2000, of tsakli, miniature devotional paintings from Tibet,
its neighboring Buddhist regions and countries.
The Museum hopes
that this discussion will provide on-line viewers with an opportunity
to better understand intricate and fascinating religious art form.
Support for
this on-line exhibition has been generously provided by a grant from
the Don and Sybil Harrington Foundation. |
