Robert Beer
Robert Beer is the author and illustrator of The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and Motifs. He has studied Tibetan thangka painting
for more than thirty years, and he lives in England.
One of the first Westerners to become actively involved in this art form, he initially studied for a period of five years in India and Nepal with several of
the finest Tibetan artists living at the time. Since 1975, he has lived in England, working consistently on developing the artistic skills, vision, patience,
and understanding of this highly complex subject, as well as the historical and cultural contexts within which it arises. He is the author and illustrator of
The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and Motifs and The Handbook of Tibetan Buddhist Symbols, and his work has appeared in numerous
publications around the world.
He resides in Oxford, England. |
