I admire the ambition in this project and was very excited when I started reading this book, because if the authors had proved what they set out to--namely that Asian philosophy and religion became a central influence to American art of all forms--it would have been tres awesome. Unfortunately, I don't think they did that AT ALL, at least with the visual arts. I got a lot of visual influence, but philosophical? For the most part that was a massive fail. The first essay in particular was lame and didn't seem to contain any original ideas.
Still, I've got to give them props for the idea. Maybe someday someone will be able to prove this.
