Images divines, perceptions humaines : la collection Max Tanenbaum d'art d'Asie du Sud et de l'Himalaya au Musée des beaux-arts du Canada 

While the Gallery acquired representative examples of historic Asian art beginning in the early 20th century, its holdings were transformed thanks to the generous gift of Max Tanenbaum (1909–1983), who donated part of the collection of the late Nasli Heeramaneck (1902–1971) in 1980. 

This book commemorates one of the most sumptuous gifts in the history of the National Gallery of Canada. Dr. Hsio-Yen Shih (1933–2001), the sixth director of the National Gallery of Canada from 1977–1981, attracted this remarkable donation in an attempt to expand the collection beyond the confines of the arts of Canada, Europe and North America.
