Indian Art (The Colour Library of Art) (Hardcover w/ Dust Jacket)

48 sayfa. 24x27.5 cm
The richness and complexity of Indian Art has enthralled scholars and travellers for more than 2000 years.

The civilization of India, one of the oldest and most continuous in the history of man, has been dominated by its three great faiths: Hindu, Buddhist and Jain. Indian Art, sustained by a consistent aesthetic theory, reflects the subtlety and variety of Indian religious and philosophical thought.

In her scholarly and lucid text Margaret-Marie Deneck introduces to us the many aspects of the art of India - works of originality and charm ranging from the sensual, lyrical sculptures and exquisite gold jewellery, fashioned by anonymous craftsmen, to the classically serene, Greek-inspired statues of the period following the conquest of Alexander The Great, and the ornate and romantic miniature paintings of the era of Mughal domination.

Imbued with a love for life and delight in nature, Indian Art, in all its exotic beauty, is illustrated here in 48 full-colour plates and 7 black
