Download or read book Art and Nationalism in Colonial India, 1850-1922 written by Partha Mitter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partha Mitter's book is a pioneering study of the history of modern art on the Indian subcontinent from 1850 to 1922. The author tells the story of Indian art during the Raj, set against the interplay of colonialism and nationalism. The work addresses the tensions and contradictions that attended the advent of European naturalism in India, as part of the imperial design for the westernisation of the elite, and traces the artistic evolution from unquestioning westernisation to the construction of Hindu national identity. Through a wide range of literary and pictorial sources, Art and Nationalism in Colonial India balances the study of colonial cultural institutions and networks with the ideologies of the nationalist and intellectual movements which followed. The result is a book of immense significance, both in the context of South Asian history and in the wider context of art history.

Download or read book Beneath the Lantern's Glow written by Candace Rose Rardon and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-21 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six weeks. Seven countries. One adventure with a sketchbook. Writer and sketch artist Candace Rose Rardon invites you on a serendipitous sketching journey through Southeast Asia and Japan. "Beneath the Lantern's Glow" includes twenty full-scene watercolor sketches and accompanying stories, as well as several resources for each country visited. Rardon's whimsical sketches are done on location and by direct observation, and charmingly capture those fleeting, layered moments that are the stepping stones of travel. The sketches are ordered chronologically, so that you might feel as if you are journeying through this fascinating corner of the world yourself: smelling apple shisha in Singapore, walking a sacred Buddhist pilgrimage on the Japanese island of Shodoshima, and standing in wonder before ancient ruins at Angkor Wat. Ultimately, the memorable encounters that unfold with each sketch will leave you open and inspired to seek connections in your own life; and when you least expect it, you too might find yourself beneath the lantern's glow.

Download or read book Art for a Modern India, 1947-1980 written by Rebecca M. Brown and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following India’s independence in 1947, Indian artists creating modern works of art sought to maintain a local idiom, an “Indianness” representative of their newly independent nation, while connecting to modernism, an aesthetic then understood as both universal and presumptively Western. These artists depicted India’s precolonial past while embracing aspects of modernism’s pursuit of the new, and they challenged the West’s dismissal of non-Western places and cultures as sources of primitivist imagery but not of modernist artworks. In Art for a Modern India, Rebecca M. Brown explores the emergence of a self-conscious Indian modernism—in painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, film, and photography—in the years between independence and 1980, by which time the Indian art scene had changed significantly and postcolonial discourse had begun to complicate mid-century ideas of nationalism. Through close analyses of specific objects of art and design, Brown describes how Indian artists engaged with questions of authenticity, iconicity, narrative, urbanization, and science and technology. She explains how the filmmaker Satyajit Ray presented the rural Indian village as a socially complex space rather than as the idealized site of “authentic India” in his acclaimed Apu Trilogy, how the painter Bhupen Khakhar reworked Indian folk idioms and borrowed iconic images from calendar prints in his paintings of urban dwellers, and how Indian architects developed a revivalist style of bold architectural gestures anchored in India’s past as they planned the Ashok Hotel and the Vigyan Bhavan Conference Center, both in New Delhi. Discussing these and other works of art and design, Brown chronicles the mid-twentieth-century trajectory of India’s modern visual culture.

Download or read book Indian Art written by Partha Mitter and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise yet lively new survey guides the reader through 5,000 years of Indian art and architecture. A rich artistic tradition is fully explored through the Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Colonial, and contemporary periods, incorporating discussion of modern Bangladesh and Pakistan, tribal artists, and the decorative arts. Combining a clear overview with fascinating detail, Mitter succeeds in bringing to life the true diversity of Indian culture. The influence of Islam on the Mughal court, which produced the world-famous Taj Mahal and exquisite miniature paintings, is closely examined. More recently, he discusses the nationalist and global concerns of contemporary art, including the rise of female artists, the stunning architecture of Charles Correa, and the vibrant art scene. The very particular character of Indian art is set within its cultural and religious milieu, raising important issues about the profound differences between Western and Indian ideas of beauty and eroticism in art.

Download or read book Rembrandt and the Inspiration of India written by Stephanie Schrader and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sumptuously illustrated volume examines the impact of Indian art and culture on Rembrandt (1606–1669) in the late 1650s. By pairing Rembrandt’s twenty-two extant drawings of Shah Jahan, Jahangir, Dara Shikoh, and other Mughal courtiers with Mughal paintings of similar compositions, the book critiques the prevailing notion that Rembrandt “brought life” to the static Mughal art. Written by scholars of both Dutch and Indian art, the essays in this volume instead demonstrate how Rembrandt’s contact with Mughal painting inspired him to draw in an entirely new, refined style on Asian paper—an approach that was shaped by the Dutch trade in Asia and prompted by the curiosity of a foreign culture. Seen in this light, Rembrandt’s engagement with India enriches our understanding of collecting in seventeenth-century Amsterdam, the Dutch global economy, and Rembrandt’s artistic self-fashioning. A close examination of the Mughal imperial workshop provides new insights into how Indian paintings came to Europe as well as how Dutch prints were incorporated into Mughal compositions.
