Painting Traditions of the Drigung Kagyu School is the fifth installment in the Rubin Museum’s series on the history of Tibetan painting. Again David Jackson has painstakingly elucidated a piece of the rich history of Himalayan art. Himalayan art is more than just painting and sculpture, it is an expression of age-old ideas that cross geographic and cultural boundaries and remain relevant to contemporary discourse.
Though the Drigung Kagyu was one of the most prominent and powerful schools of Tibetan Buddhism during its early period (circa 1180s–1280s), its art is still relatively poorly known, even in its homeland. Nevertheless, the Drigung Kagyu School is quite widespread within the Tibetan Buddhist cultural realm.

For artists, designers, and all with an interest in Buddhist and Tibetan art, this is the first exhaustive reference to the seemingly infinite variety of symbols found throughout Tibetan art in line drawings, paintings, and ritual objects.
Hundreds of the author's line drawings depict all the major Tibetan symbols and motifs—landscapes, deities, animals, plants, gurus, mudras (ritual hand gestures), dragons, and other mythic creatures—ranging from complex mythological scenes to small, simple ornaments.
Drawn largely from Beer's monumental work The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and Motifs, the meticulous brush drawings in this book depict all of the major Buddhist symbols and motifs, including the various groups of auspicious symbols; cosmological symbols; natural and mythical animals, such as the dragon, garuda, and makara; the entire assembly of ritual tantric implements and weapons; magical and wrathful symbols; handheld emblems, attributes, and plants; esoteric Vajrayana offerings; and mudras , or ritual hand gestures.

In this groundbreaking book, the authors locate paintings geographically using a method similar to that used for locating paintings in time.
In both cases they identify the historical people connected with the painting by analyzing the portraits, inscriptions, and lineages that it contains. Then, by establishing where the key people involved in the painting lived and died, and with which monasteries and traditions they were most closely linked, they draw conclusions about the painting's provenance and style, providing a bedrock of scholarship to support a new era in the field of Tibetan art history.
David Jackson is a curator with the Rubin Museum of Art, New York, and formerly professor of Tibetan in the Asia and Africa Institute of Hamburg University. Rob Linrothe is associate professor of art history at Northwestern University.
