Description

Lou Reed's The Art of the Straight Line is a unique collection of writings on Tai Chi, drawing on his own practice and experiences as a musician and artist. Edited by Laurie Anderson, this book features Reed's unpublished writings on the technique, practice, and purpose of martial arts, as well as essays and observations on meditation and life. Reed's journey into Tai Chi began in the 1980s, and he went on to study with Master Ren GuangYi, a pioneer in the field. This book brings together Reed's thoughts on Tai Chi, as well as conversations with fellow musicians, artists, and Tai Chi practitioners, including many notable figures from the worlds of music and art. With over 150 photos, ephemera, and a color photo insert, The Art of the Straight Line offers a fascinating glimpse into Reed's world of Tai Chi, music, and meditation.
