TIBETAN ART, GIFT OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
One might say that Tibetan art is as brightlyhued. Visitors to Tibet are invariably impressed by the local people's power of imagination and boldness of expression in their artistic forms. Religious doctrines have not stifled their creativity. Rather, they have given wings to their imagination. Talent, gifted by Heaven and Earth, shines forth in all their works of art, from architecture to clothing and decorations, from furniture to articles of daily use.
There is an artistic charm that moves you wherever you go on the Tibetan Plateau. The source of this charm is the region's religious and secular art, art that springs from everyday life and from the environment, art that is not made for money's sake and, therefore, cannot be evaluated in terms of money. Only when you really know the lifestyle of the Tibetan people can you appreciate why they greet every festival with such ceremony and take every ritual so seriously, why each piece of furniture is exquisitely carved and every horse beautifully adorned.
