This adaptation of a Chinese folktale begins with a man's dissatisfaction with his life. Weary of being a stonecutter, he becomes many things in his quest for authority, each time finding that greater power lies elsewhere. Rooted in Taoist principles, Stonecutter is a story about the nature of power and the value of accepting who you are. Originally published in a limited, fine art edition and long out of print, this is one of Jon J Muth's most heartfelt and exquisite works, and a book he entrusted to Feiwel and Friends to reach a wide new audience.
Como artista plástico me he mantenido fiel a la tradición del dibujo y la pintura por ser procesos híbridos entre ciencia y expresión, por su capacidad a la hora de conjugar los métodos fundamentales de la comprensión humana -de formular preguntas y buscar respuestas- y por su gran potencial como catalizadores del conocimiento intuitivo.
