Are Canada’s transnational writers part of CanLit? This is a topic of endless debate among those of us who moved here and those of us born here but who maintain a strong link to other countries. I’m so glad to see this book out—it’s open-source and free. kpu.pressbooks.pub/himalayanart...

Monkey mask with a radiant presence. Wood, old brown and black patina, green polychromy, white highlights and signs of use. Dhimal, Terai region, Southeastern Nepal. H. 22 × W. 16 cm. Representing Hanuman, this mask is distinguished by an exceptionally pure graphic construction. The face, divided into two oblique planes, organizes the composition around a long, projecting nose that structures the entire form. The elongated eyes, the mouth set within the lower oval of the face and the green polychromy give the figure the bearing of an attentive guardian, at once calm and intensely present. Through the economy of its forms, this simian figure radiates a quiet authority.

#ThangkaTuesday transatlantic edition. It’s wheels up from Bhutan & this Yeshe Tsogyal keeps coming to mind—her gorgeous garments, especially the subtle striping on her wrap, and the adornments in her hair. Simply sublime!

It’s #ThangkaTuesday!
Evisceration is surely no fun, but when it does happen, hopefully it’s by two dragons who rip out your heart so that it falls into the eager, outstretched, waiting arms of non-human beings, who will almost certainly nom it.

Detail of a vertical format painting on stretched cotton using ground mineral pigments. The background is variegated greens. At the top, flying in the air, are two thin dragons, one reddish and one dark greenish and both with orange manes. Their thin bodies are twisting, with limbs outstretched as they face one another. Their forelegs rip apart a small human figure whose intestines uncoil into the red dragon’s mouth. Their forelegs rip human’s chest has a bloody wound and his heart is shown falling out of the chest cavity and falling down toward two standing figures below. One figure is dark red and seems to have scales. Its back is to the viewer and its arms are outstretched as if readying itself to catch the falling heart.

This Buddha, from the Khasa Malla kingdom of Nepal, shows him with characteristic lotus wheel marks on his hands and feet, wearing monastic dress, and performing the gesture of touching the earth, a reference to his enlightenment.
