Indian Art : A Concise History
Häftad bok. Thames and Hudson. 1992. 252 sidor.
Gott skick.
Namnteckning i bläck på försättblad. 200 illustrations, 30 in color. The grave, sensuous, and infinitely varied arts of India have long been admired in the West.
This engaging book tells the story clearly and vividly from the first, still mysterious, beginnings in the Indus valley, through the great masterpieces of Buddhist and Hindu art to the coming of Islam, the eclectic culture of the Mughal court, and the golden age of miniature painting. Much of Indian art is immediately accessible to the outsider, but much is also enigmatic, needing interpretation and guidance before it can be enjoyed in depth: the strange pantheon of the Hindu gods, the subtle insights of Buddhist mysticism, or the complex symbolism of the miniatures.
