Description
"This volume celebrates the wealth and diversity of the arts of India created for the life of courts and temples from 1000 BC to the twentieth century. 112 paintings, 59 objects and 21 photographs ranging in date from the 2nd century BC to the late 20th century reflect the variety and continuities of India's aesthetic traditions." "Catalogue entries comment on narrative episodes from the epics, iconographic symbolism, religious, as well as social and contextual references related to the works shown. Many of the paintings and objects shown in the Polsky collections and others are from the collections of The Metropolitan Museum, New York. Each work is fully illustrated in colour and most of these have not been previously published."--BOOK JACKET.
