 Not well-known in France, A.K. Coomaraswamy (1877-1947), from Indian origin, is a metaphysician and historian of eastern art, whose work is based on traditional way of thinking or Philosophia Perennis.
Interested by sciences (geology) then by political action, he is specialized in traditional art, Hindu and Buddhist.
Not prolix about his life, he evolves in the circle of Rabindranagh Tagore and other artists, writes letters to René Guénon who will deeply influence him.
He starts a huge work, about forty books and a thousand articles, which go beyond the field of art to extend to myths, symbols and metaphysics, showing the unanimous harmony of different traditional western and eastern ways of thinking.
He becomes the curator of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
