Kwong Kuen-Shan is a Chinese artist and scholar born in Hong Kong, educated there and in England. She works as a painter, translator of Chinese classics, and Chinese art teacher. This book links flowers and Chinese thinking. In it, Kuen-Shan has selected passages from Chinese literature and philosophy, translated them into English, and matched them with her own paintings. This book is for three kinds of people: those who just love flowers; those who enjoy flower paintings; and those who wish to contemplate life through ancient Chinese thinking, using flowers and their symbolism as a stimulant. This beautifully illustrated book is a tribute to flowers, to their beauty and silent energy, and to their wisdom. Artist Kwong Kuen-Shan complements her flower paintings with thought provoking words from ancient China. She hopes the 39 colour flower paintings delight you a lot and the accompanying texts help you contemplate life a little, and may be, reflect a lot.
