Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Painting Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true. Whatsoever things are honourable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. No section of the population of India can afford to neglect her ancient heritage. In her literature, philosophy, art, and regulated life there is much that is worthless, much also that is distinctly unhealthy; yet the treasures of knowledge, wisdom, and beauty which they contain are too precious to be lost. Every citizen Of India needs to use them, if he is to be a cultured modern Indian. This is as true Of the Christian, the Muslim, the Zoroastrian as of the Hindu. But, while the heritage of India has been largely explored by scholars, and the results of their toil are laid out for us in their books, they cannot be said to be really available for the ordinary man. The volumes are in most cases expensive, and are often technical and difficult. Hence this series of cheap books has been planned by a group of Christian men, in order that every educated Indian, Whether rich or poor, may be able to find his way into the treasures of India's past. Many Europeans, both in India and elsewhere, will doubtless be glad to use the series. The utmost care is being taken by the General Editors in selecting writers, and in passing manuscripts for the press. TO every book two tests are rigidly applied: every thing must be scholarly, and everything must be sympathetic. The purpose is to bring the best out of the ancient treasuries, so that it may be known, enjoyed, and used.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annotated Bibliography of American Indian Painting Contemporary American Indian painting began with the discovery by Indians that they could paint with white men's tools and materials. They had, however, little inclination to adopt the European or academic approach to painting. Products as they were of an ancient ancestry, they followed a law of perspective quite different from that of the Western world. Indian painters did not need models, nor did they proceed in piecemeal fashion - sketching and erasing, measuring and rearranging. As Mary Austin said, the artist simply selected a subject from his own mind, sat down with a blank piece of paper and a pencil, began in the lower left hand corner and continued on steadily until the whole composition lay before him complete in every Many Indian painters abandoned preliminary sketching and relied solely on their phenomenal memories. The rare ability to retain in mind the entire concept for a painting made it possible for Pueblo artists to paint ceremonial dancers in suspended action; for Sioux artists to depict the violent action of the hunt; for Navajo and Apache artists to paint deer vaulting clumps of bushes, or their beloved horses racing across uncluttered landscapes.

It may appear almost incredible that we Should have remained ignorant until quite recent times Of the existence of many Of these arts, and of the perfection to which others had been brought among that wonderful people Of the East whom many of us had been in the habit of regarding as little better than barbarians, for getting that they were civilised just as early as were the nations Of Egypt and Persia. The physical features Of their country favoured early civilisation. Great plains, guarded by giant mountains, watered by magnificent rivers, furnished fertile soil from which abundance of food could be secured in a climate favourable to its production. The country was rich in metallic treasures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sculpture, Painting and Drawings of Ancient India HE art of India has been the last of the great Asiatic arts to attract the attention of western students and to obtain a recognized place in the col lections of the great museums. And yet, for the student of Far Eastern art - and particularly of Chinese Buddhist art, it possesses, apart from its intrinsic importance, all the significance of an art of origins. Unfortunately but little of the monu mental sculpture of India is to be found outside the limits of India itself Buddhist and even Hindu sculptures are rarely seen, while the great paintings of Aj anta, almost unique in India, being preserved on the rock walls of the elevated temples will always demand the pil grimage of the connoisseur who would become acquainted with them. All the more important, for these reasons, are the collections of Indian works of art which the great museums - Indian departments have lately been established in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and in Philadelphia - are now be ginning to bring together, and the exhibitions of collections, such as Mr. Kevorkian's. It is now perhaps for the first time that an exhibi tion of purely Indian art has been attempted in New York; and it is fortunate that this should include not merely a series of Mughal paintings, but also more than one unusually important example of religious sculpture, and a number of those paintings, called Rajput, in which the older tradition of Aj anta survives with surprising vitality. The recent developments of Western art have made possible a far more serious appreciation of these works than could have been ao corded twenty years ago. We have come to understand that art is an expression of the inner life of a race - that beauty is something more than taste and something higher than prettiness - and that the repre sentative element, the mere power of illustration, informing us of the appearance of things in a scientific manner, where it is present in great art is present only incidentally, and not essentially. Truth in art is truth of feeling, psychological truth, and not a truth of veri similitude. Behind a great traditional art are the ideas which con stitute its true necessity: beauty is revealed in the co-extension of form and content, and it matters not to the lover of beauty what those ideas may have been. And so, as we said, the way has been made easy for an appreciation of an intellectual and lyrical art - the sculp tured figure with its many arms, representing a synthetic and sym phonic personality, and the paintiglg that depends for its expressionon linear rhythms and essential symbols, to the exclusion of preoccu pation with the cast shadow and the modelling of masses. It is true that to fully understand the art of India, or any other art, we must place ourselves at the point of view of the artist, and this demands of the modern industrialist, whose sense of the immediacy of the spirit is all too faint, a considerable efiort: but it is also true that those that approach the unfamiliar art, even without an intellectual knowledge of its themes, if they will permit themselves to feel its moods, to yield to it as one yields to the moods of nature and of human and spiritual emotion, will find themselves at home.

This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial Art Manufactures of the Indian Empire During the few years we have been established our main object has been to remedy past errors, and much has already been done for the general improvement in the art work of the Indian Empire. From the beginning we have kept strictly to the original shapes, which best adapted the articles for their. Various purposes, rej ecting everything of inferior workmanship and finish. The wants of Euro pean and American buyers have also been studied, and articles are now being manufactured in the forms best adapted for Western use in furnishing and ornamenting houses, which wares were never pro duced by the Indian artisan. This can be seen by inspecting our 1arge and varied collection of art wares from all parts of India, ex hibited at the World's Fair. We have made a new departure from the hitherto usual plan of exhibiting' articles of interest to the hunt ers for curiosities alone, the goods placed on public View by us being calculated to increase their importation into America. The good work that we have done in India toward the revival of Indian art manufactures has been recognized by the Supreme Government of the Empire in selecting our firm to represent the art works'of the country at the World's Fair at Chicago. During the few brief intervals in work since undertaking the re presentation of a vast Empire, in the section of art manufactures at the great Exposition, the following few notes upon the art works of India have been compiled. This work must necessarily fall short of a treatise on the whole subject which would occupy so much longer time and fill a large volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts and Crafts of India and Ceylon That the work is divided into two parts, the first concerned with Hindu and Buddhist art, the latter with the Musulman arts, is solely to facilitate an un derstanding of their historical relations and psycho logical development: I do not forget that in almost every art and craft, as also in music, there exists in Hindustan a complete and friendly fusion of the two cultures. The non-sectarian character of the styles of Indian art has indeed always been conspicuous; so that it is often only by special details that one can distinguishjain from Buddhist st pas, Buddhist from Hindu sculpture, or the Hindu from the Musulmz'm minor crafts. The one great distinction of Mughal from Hindu art is not so much racial as social; the former is an art of courts and connoisseurs, owing much to individual patronage, the latter belongs as' much to the folk as to the kings.

Many of my readers in France, Germany and elsewhere will perhaps have a difficulty in recognising many of the names, but Professor Arnold has so far as possible utilised the system adopted by the International Congress of Orientalists at Geneva in which I hope will, in future, come into more general use.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Indian Art, Industry Education The various Essays on Indian Art, Industry, and Education which are here reprinted, though mostly written some years ago, all deal with questions which continue to possess aliving interest. The superstitions which they attempt to dispel still loom largely in popular imagination, and the reforms they advocate still remain to be carried out. Only last year Sir Henry Craik, M. P., in his book on India, revived the familiar anglo-indian legend that the Taj Mahal was the creation of a European architect. Hardly any serious attempt has been made in the last twenty-five years to make the departmental machinery of Govern ment effective for the revival of Indian art and handi craft. Of'ficialism in the Calcutta University has lately barred the way to further progress in art education over-riding the deliberate vote of the majority of 'the members of the Senate. Swadeshi politicians, with regard to India's industrial problems, have been content to follow behind commercial Europe, and multiply the evils which the factory system has already inﬂicted upon India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buddhist Art in India The first edition of Professor Albert Grunwedel's handbook on Buddhistische Kunst in Indien appeared in 1893, and the hope was expressed in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society that the work might appear in English, as "it ought to be in the hands of all antiquarians in India." Believing that so important a publication might, by a few additions, form a useful general guide to the Buddhist sculptures in the museums alike of India and Europe, I have prepared the present edition. Miss A. C. Gibson very kindly translated for me the first edition; but by the time it was ready for the press, Prof. Grunwedel had begun his second edition containing extensive additions and alterations. This involved delay and a revision of the whole MS. Considerable additions have also been made to this translation, which have, partly at least, been indicated, and about fifty illustrations are added. The difficulties in interpreting the Gandhara Buddhist sculptures arise chiefly from their fragmentary and unconnected condition. This has been lamentably increased by the ignorance or disregard of scientific methods on the part of the excavators of these remains. Monasteries and stupas were dug into and demolished without regard to what might be learnt in the process by modern methods; the more complete fragments only were saved, without note of their relative positions or any attempt to recover smaller portions and chips by which they might have been pieced together; and the spoils were sent to various museums, often without mention of the sites from which they emanated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial Arts of India I have been much exercised with the spelling of the modern Indian geographical names. I have never before spelled them according to the official system, but have been forced under various compulsions to submit more or less completely to it. On the present occasion. I have given up Sir Charles Napier's Scinde, but I have not been able to give up Moore's Cashmere. Whoever heard of the vale of Kashmir It has been very confusing to me to give up the Old oo's and ee's for the new a's and-i's, which latter render it impossible for common English people to understand anything like the 'true pronunciation of Indian names. It is impossible for English people to pronounce P-u-n-a as Poona, N-i-r-a as Neera, S-h-i-r-p-u-r as Shere pore, or D-a-m - D-a - m as dum-dum.' Even if the natives of India adopted the Roman alphabet we ought not to spell modern Indian geographical names as they naturally would, if our first object is to preserve the proper pronunciation of them: for let it be clearly understood that by the official system of spelling, we are degrad ing their pronunciation. I saw Kurnool the other day rhymed to skull, simply because the writer of the poem, himself an accomplished Orientalist, had been, in a heed less moment, misled by the official spelling of the word Karnul. English is English, and the spelling of English words should be left to be settled, by popular English usage, and no attempt should be made to regulate it by arbitrary resolutions of government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indian Craftsman Trained as we are to measure everything by a mechanical standard, it is difficult for us to see things clearly, to get a correct focus. We are apt to forget that our view is biassed, that we attach a disproportionate value to the productions of machinery, and that a vast number, perhaps 60 per cent., of these productions are not, as is' generally supposed, labour-saving, health-giving and serviceable to our general life and culture, but the reverse. It is questionable, said John Stuart Mill half a century ago, whether all the labour saving machinery has yet lightened the day's labour of a single human being and the years that have followed his death seem not only to have further borne out his statement, but the people themselves who are being exploited by mechanical conditions are beginning to find it out.
