Download or read book Earth, Door, Sky, Door written by Robert Powell and published by Serindia Publications. This book was released on 1999 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural paintings in watercolour from the Himalayan kingdom of Mustang in northern Nepal - the subject of a major travelling exhibition - are presented here in all their beauty and originality. The artist's work on Mustang began in 1992 and continuted over six years. This close association has allowed him to present the essence and heart of Mustang's architecture and man-made structures. Within this forbidding country, dry, dramatic and overwhelming in scale, humans have been able to create islands of habitation through the careful control of water. The structures built to maintain these islands, and to thrive, are the subjects of the paintings. Virtually every built object in Mustang bears the signs of ritual activity: from pre-historic hand-dug cave systems to ruined hilltop castles, from densely clustered villages to isolated temples, from propitiatory stacks of yak horns to the sophisticated cosmology of the chortens. This book presents in colour 43 paintings by Robert Powell.
