Art of Modern India jellemzők
The contemporary Indian art scene is one of the most vibrant in the world, characterized by a delightful exuberance that has not been seen since the time of the great Mughals in the 16th and 17th centuries. Art of Modern India lucidly explains the reasons behind the current artistic renaissance, in a country where traditions are strong despite two centuries of foreign rule.
The coming of independence created an uninhibited context for Indian creative genius to flower once again. In the 1950s, Indian artists embarked on a quest for an identity that was new, and yet would reflect their country's heritage. Since then, Indian artists have quietly brought about what may be described as a charmed revolution in Indian art. The glorious results of this 'revolution', as yet little known in the West and seen here in beautiful colour reproductions, connect India's timeless tribal and folk art traditions with developments in 20th-century Western art, in ways which are as Indian in spirit as they are universal in appeal.
Organized thematically, the text shows every aspect of the Indian art scene and clearly places Indian art in its cultural, social, political and ideological context.
