Separated from the peoples of Tibet by both geographic and cultural distance, American students require concrete points of contact in order to enter into the worlds of meaning expressed by Tibetan religious traditions. It is one thing to engage the philosophical and theological ideas of a tradition through the reading of texts and the discussion of ideas. It is yet another experience entirely to physically encounter artwork and artifacts capable of directly catalyzing the expansion of human understanding. Fortunately for students at DePauw University we have the Bruce Walker ’53 Collection of Tibetan Religious Art to help bridge the gap between the material culture of Tibet and the insularity of a classroom located in the cornfields of central Indiana. In this catalog, DePauw University’s Director and Curator of Exhibitions and University Collections, Craig Hadley, has put together a valuable set of essays, commentaries, and descriptions that bring to light the cultural meaning and significance of notable works in our Tibetan collection. This gathering of specific descriptive information relating to the individual pieces of DePauw’s collection along with ample contextual material ensures that students and teachers alike will have informed access to the Bruce Walker ’53 Collection for many years to come.

Fuller Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Asian Studies Program DePauw University Greencastle, Indiana 2 Infinite Splendor, Infinite Light Amitabha Buddha (detail) Tibetan, 19th century Thangka: pigment on cotton with silk mount 64 x 34-1/2 inches DePauw Art Collection: 2002.4.3 Gift of Bruce Walker ’53 Infinite Splendor, Infinite Light 3 Acknowledgements When I first arrived at DePauw University in 2012 as the newly appointed curator of exhibitions and collections, I was stunned by the quality and quantity of the Asian art collection at this small Midwestern school. With works ranging from a rare 16th-century Japanese tanegashima matchlock rifle to a magnificent mid-20th-century sosaku hanga collection – beautifully documented in Abstract Traditions: Japanese Modern Prints from the DePauw University Permanent Art Collection (2016) – the potential for collaborative student- faculty research projects, exhibitions, and publications was instantly recognizable. Almost immediately, we began the laborious process of cataloging, photographing, and researching the Japanese modern print collection with assistance from students and faculty. Four years later, we opened the exhibition of Japanese prints and published our first 88-page full-color catalog. Yet, of all the untapped resources in the University’s art collection, the 66 Tibetan artworks from Mr. Bruce Walker ’53 (figure 1) remained one of the most intellectually and aesthetically intriguing. Its provenance was equally impressive: after serving two years in the Marine Corps, Walker became a case officer with the Central Intelligence Agency (1956-73), and was assigned to the Agency’s Tibetan program. While stationed in India and Sikkim from 1962-68, he assembled a collection of Tibetan thangkas, works on paper, silver, and religious objects (figure 2), all of which he generously donated to his alma mater between 2002-16. The fall 2017 exhibition, which coincides with this publication, is the first public exhibition of the Bruce Walker ’53 Collection since its inaugural exhibition in 2002-03 in Harrison Hall. Like the Japanese modern print collection, years of research and professional conservation care was necessary to prepare the objects for display. Perhaps of equal importance, this print publication consolidates recent essays from DePauw University Figure 1. faculty, staff, undergraduate students, and a previously published essay Bruce Walker ’53 Central Intelligence Agency (1956-73) printed in Reading Asian Art and Artifacts: Windows to Asia on American College Campuses (2011). Catalogs and exhibitions are truly herculean efforts that rely upon the intellectual talent of students, faculty, and staff. Many thanks to the following individuals for their generous contributions to this project: Bruce Walker ’53 for entrusting the gallery staff at DePauw University with his fine collection of Tibetan art and artifacts. Students, faculty, staff, and future generations are indebted to his generosity. DePauw University faculty members: Jason Fuller, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Chair of the Religious Studies Department and Director of the Asian Studies Program; and Sujung Kim, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, for their essay contributions to this publication. 4 Infinite Splendor, Infinite Light Paul K.

  • What Is Islamic Art?
    What is Islamic art? What do we actually mean by Islamic art? A central feature of Islamic art is its emphasis on crasmanship. Creating a high quality object – something that is a delight to behold – is much more important than producing something new and innovative. Another characteristic of Islamic art is that it does not necessarily tell us anything about the artist’s personal ideas or feelings. Islamic artists and crasmen oen focus on a long, tried-and-true tradition. What is most important is creating something beautiful and well made, oen something with a practical use. In other words, Islamic art largely aims at beautifying everyday life and making utilitarian objects into works of art. en what does “Islamic” have to do with it? At the David Collection, we generally define Islamic art as works of art produced in the part of the world where the religion of Islam has played a dominant role for a long period of time. ey do not necessarily have to be works of art made by or for Muslims. e artists might also be followers of another religion, for example Christians or Jews. And the message conveyed by their art does not have to directly reflect the religion of Islam. It can also have a purely secular character. DURING THE GUIDED TOUR OF THE MUSEUM: When pupils are shown around the museum, the guide will focus on a number of common features of Islamic art: vegetal ornamentation, geometric patterns, calligraphy, and the stylized depiction of reality. Historical aspects will also be dealt with and, depending on the work of art, an object’s function and relevant cultural and historical aspects will be discussed.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract The Gandavyuha-sutra: a Study of Wealth, Gender and Power in an Indian Buddhist Narrative In this thesis, I examine the roles of wealth, gender and power in the Mahay ana Buddhist scripture known as the Gandavyuha-sutra, using contemporary textual theory, narratology and worldview analysis. I argue that the wealth, gender and power of the spiritual guides (kalyanamitras , literally ‘good friends’) in this narrative reflect the social and political hierarchies and patterns of Buddhist patronage in ancient Indian during the time of its compilation. In order to do this, I divide the study into three parts. In part I, ‘Text and Context’, I first investigate what is currently known about the origins and development of the Gandavyuha, its extant manuscripts, translations and modern scholarship.
