The authors, Pilar Cabañas and Matilde Arias, explore how Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and ukiyo-e have shaped everything from the 20th-century avant-gardes to current urban art. The reader will discover the connections between ink wash painting, haikus, or Hokusai's iconic wave and movements such as abstract expressionism, modern architecture, or the performances of artists like Marina Abramovic. A multidisciplinary investigation that offers a new perspective on contemporary creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work analyzes the cultural dialogue between East and West through art. It begins with the crisis of 19th-century academicism, which led Western artists to seek a new expressive language. In that search, they found in East Asian aesthetics and thought the conceptual and formal tools they needed. The book traces how Zen, Tao, and ukiyo-e breathed new life into Western creativity, influencing disciplines as diverse as painting, architecture, performance, and urban art. Concrete cases are examined, from historical avant-gardes to figures such as Yoko Ono or Banksy, demonstrating that this influence is not anecdotal, but structural in the evolution of modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInfluence of Zen Buddhism and Taoism on 20th and 21st-century Western art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUkiyo-e as a source of inspiration for Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and the avant-gardes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between Japanese aesthetics (wabi-sabi, mono no aware) and modern architecture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePresence of Eastern philosophy in performance art and conceptual art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConnections between calligraphy, ink wash painting, and abstract expressionism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at lovers of contemporary art who wish to understand its deepest roots, as well as students and professionals of art history, philosophy, or cultural studies.
