This book was released on 1983 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During The Sixth Century A.D., The Two Great Empires-Those Of The Chalukyas Of Badami And The Pallavas Of Kanchi In The Decan And South India, Respectively, Have Ushered In An Era Of Vigorous Temple Building Activity, Reflecting In Its Mores The Mingling Of Forms And Ideals. Andhradesa Which Came Under Chalukyan Control Witnessed The Growth Of Alampur As A Great Art Center Of Seminal Importance. Following The Innovative Trends Initiated At Alampur And Perhaps Under The Guidance Of The Alampur Guild, Temples Were Raised At Kudaveli, Mahanandi, Panyam, Satyavou And Kadamarakalava. The Unique Feature Of The Architectural Form Is Its Kinship With The Nagara Temple Form; The Temple Of Dravidian Style Is A Lone Exception. This Monograph, For The First Time, Presents An Exhaustive Documentation Of Morphological Data Of The Temples At Alampur, Kudaveli, Mahanandi, Satyavolu, Panyam And Kadamarakalava. Analysis Of Architectural Form And Ornament Has Been Done In A Detailedmanner Emphasizing The Impact Of The Traditions Of Madhyadesa, Kosala And Vidarbha In Contradistinction To The Centers Of Karnata, I.E., Aihole And Pattadakal. Sculpture Has Also Received Close Attention, Emphasizing The Art-Form And Feeling. An Assessment Of These Structures Both In Time And In Space Has Been Systematically Attempted In This Monography. Adequate Photographic Illustrations Illuminate The Text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsomely illustrated volume explores the medieval Deccani temple complexes at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pattadakal, with careful attention to their makers. The vibrant red sandstone temples of India's Deccan Plateau, such as the Pattadakal temple cluster, have attracted visitors since the eighth century or earlier. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the coronation place of the Chalukya dynasty, Pattadakal and its neighboring sites are of major historical importance. In Shiva's Waterfront Temples, Subhashini Kaligotla situates these buildings in the cosmopolitan milieu of Deccan India and considers how their makers and awestruck visitors would have seen them in their day. Kaligotla reconstructs how architects and builders approached the sites, including their use of ornamentation, responsiveness to courtly values such as pleasure and play, and ingenious juxtaposition of the first millennium's Nagara and Dravida aesthetics, a blend largely unique to Deccan plateau architecture. With over 130 color illustrations, this original book elucidates the Deccan's special place in the lexicon of medieval South Asian architecture.

Book excerpt: A critical rethinking of the way canons are defined, constructed, dismantled, and revised. A century ago, all art was evaluated through the lens of European classicism and its tradition. This volume explores and questions the foundations of the European canon, offers a critical rethinking of ancient and classical art, and interrogates the canons of cultures and regions that have often been left at the margins of art history. It underscores the historical and geographical diversity of canons and the local values underlying them. Twelve international scholars consider how canons are constructed and contested, focusing on the relationship between canonical objects and the value systems that shape their hierarchies. Deploying an array of methodologies—including archaeological investigations, visual analysis, and literary critique—the authors examine canon formation throughout the world, including Africa, India, East Asia, Mesoamerica, South America, ancient Egypt, classical Greece, and Europe. Global studies of art, which are dismantling the traditionally Eurocentric canon, promise to make art history more inclusive. But enduring canons cannot be dismissed. This volume raises new questions about the importance of canons—including those from outside Europe—for the wider discipline of art history.

This book was released on 1973-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book draws attention to the institutional basis of medieval sectarianism and shows that the temples and monasteries became, in the hands of a powerful priesthood, effective means of religious control and publicity. It highlights the increasing patronage extended by heterogeneous social ranks including the landed gentry, moneyed bureaucrats and traders to these institutions. This changed them into big employers and encouraged the growth of feudal ties and manorial interests which the priest of a temple or the superior of a monastery tried to preserve and perpetuate on a hereditary basis.

Book excerpt: Illustrations: 58 B/w illustrations Description: This book is a pioneering study on the contribution of Eastern Chalukyas to the art and architecture of Andhradesa. Bikkavolu is located in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh where a group of six fine temples are existing. The Bikkavolu temples though not included in the Pancharamas, form the earliest group and typical examples of the Dravidian style of architecture in the heart of coastal Andhra. The three temples located on the outskirts of the Bikkavolu village form the early group, with cognate architectural features and the other temples located within the village belong to a later group. On a comparison of the art and architectural features the early Chalukya and Rastrakuta temples the early group of temples is dated to late ninth century AD, particularly to the reign of Gunaga Vijayaditya (AD 848-92) and the later group to late eleventh century AD, particularly to the reign of Rajaraja Narendra (AD 1022-61) or Vijayaditya VII (AD 1061-75). The work is fully based upon field study of the temples, profusely illustrated with photographs of the temples, the architecture sculpture and iconography along with the ground plans.
