5.0 out of 5 stars
Gratitude,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sacred Mirrors (Paperback)
Although I have had this book for many years, I still pick it up in wonder and awe. As a teacher of anatomy and a lover of beauty I would recommend this book to anyone. If I could say one thing to Mr. Grey, it would be "thank you".
5.0 out of 5 stars
TRANSCENDANT INSPIRATION,

This review is from: Sacred Mirrors (Paperback)
I have owned this book since it was first published, and it is now worn & tattered from countless hours of study and viewing. It is a work of incredible insight, spiritual power and beauty. I have purchased several copies for close friends. My dream fantasy would be to own an Alex Grey painting. Buy the Book if you don't have it!

Sacred Mirrors: the visionary art of Alex Grey...,
By "vespertineshock" (Pittsburgh PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Mirrors (Paperback)
in paperback, contains the following:Acknowledgements: Ditto Preface: Written by Allyson and Alex Grey. To paraphrase to entice you, - "...we silumtaneously shared the same psychedelic vision: an experience of the "Universal Mind Latice". ...seemed as if the real material world was an illusionary veil, now withdrawn, and the energetic scaffolding of causation and creation. Mentions Abraham Maslow, and his theory of biological need of transcendence in human beings, and that it contains the healing force... In the Eye of the Artist: Art and Perrenial philosophy: Through Darkness to Light: the Art path of Alex Grey: The Sacred Mirrors: By Alex Grey, this section patiently molds his vision for his audience in the creation of his phenomenal series "Sacred Mirrors", his definitive work on body mind and spirit, and the seperation of each. SACRED MIRRORS: the Plates. All plates are exihibited in full-color, with no breaks to define each independently(which would have been nice). There are tiny captions that give the titles and date produced, and the medium. I feel that writing my own opinion on this genuine piece of "New Age" art history(why must we categorically define our artwork of past present and future?) is misguided. But I will do this: the book itself is a good representation, and the only representation of Grey's vision. It contains good commentary from well noted psychologists and art critics alike, that traces the path of Grey's spiritual and artistic journey. So the writing itself I give a 5 out of 5 and the art quality I give a 5. I recieved this book today in paperback, along with "Visions". Allthough the copy in Visions is hardback, the paperback is exactly the same. If you purchase both like I did, I suggest extracting your Sacred Mirrors pics from your paperback, framing them, and posting them in respectable positions. Keep the hardback for authenticity, but definitely still get both. They're well worth your pesos, hombre.
