Download or read book Alamkara written by Ramesh Chandra Sharma and published by Asian Civilisations Museum. This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alamkara is a Sanskrit word for ornamentation or decoration. This book examines ornamentation in the context of Indian objects made for use in domestic, courtly, and religious settings. Three essays and a catalogue section develop this notion. From the exhibition: The first ever blockbuster exhibition of Indian antiquities was the result of a memorandum of understanding on culture between the governments of Singapore and India. This exhibition was setup with 330 loan artefacts from the National Museum, New Delhi at the former National Museum building (now Singapore History Museum on Stamford Road). It saw 120,000 visitors entering the portals of the museum within a record time. The exhibition was accompanied by attractive crafts, food and performances which saw community participation and support. The exhibition was thematically arranged, covering 5000 years of Indian art woven around a recurrent theme of decoration, Alamkara. The first section introduced the civilisation from Indus-Sarasvati cultures through sculptural development to fully developed temple forms with sculptures displayed in their design context. The idea of ornament was developed further to explain its aesthetic and artistic meaning and ramifications in various media. A whole section on ornamentation showcased jewellery, textiles and costumes for men, women and children along with contextual paintings to elaborate their historicity. The artefacts were further divided into more lifestyle-based themes such as from pot to plate, adorning the self, the pursuit of pleasure, the heroic ideal, kings, courtiers and craftsmen, mortal women celestial lovers and streams of devotion. These sections elaborated using a collection of artefacts based on their function and usage, the ideas of food, adornment, games and leisure activities, lovers and the world of women and religions practiced on the Indian subcontinent. The star piece of the religion section was a relic of Buddha, excavated from a site called Piprawah. These relics were honorably displayed on a platform which visitors could circumambulate. A large pillared hall evoking the Ellora buddhist caves from 7th-9th century in western India was the model for the religion gallery display. A large court interior was also evoked using tent panels, quilts, cushions and umbrellas with decorative huqqas and silverware.

This impressive volume's broad sweep of material, all from a single museum, makes it at once a universal history of painting and the ideal introduction to the iconic masterworks of this world-renowned institution. More than 1,000 lavish color illustrations and details of 500 masterpiece paintings, created over 5,000 years in cultures across the globe, are presented chronologically from the dawn of civilization to the present. These works represent a grand tour of painting from ancient Egypt and classical antiquity and prized Byzantine and medieval altarpieces, to paintings from Asia, India, Africa and the Americas, and and the greatest European and North American masters. The Metropolitan Museum of Art includes and introduction and illuminating texts about each artwork written specially for this volume by Kathryn Calley Galitz, whose experience as both curator and educator at the Met makes her uniquely qualified.

The artworks are arranged in rough chronological order, without regard to geography or culture, offering a visual timeline of the history of painting, from the earliest examples on pottery jars made over five thousand years ago to canvases on which the paint has barely dried. Freed from the constraints imposed by the physical layout of the Museum, the paintings resonate anew; and this chronological framework reveals unexpected visual affinities among the works. For those wishing to experience the unparalleled breadth and depth of the Met's collection, or study masterpieces of painting from throughout history, this important volume is sure to become a classic cherished by art lovers around the world.

Download or read book Art of the Western World From Ancient Greece to Post Modernism written by Adelheid Gealt and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A companion volume to the PBS television series of the same title, this compact survey of Western art history is a readable if somewhat bland recapitulation of the conventional high art canon. Written on a level suitable for high school students and general readers, the volume includes good reproductions of one or two of the best-known works by famous masters of painting, sculpture, and architecture, with extremely few women or minority artists among them. The captions to the reproductions omit such basic information as dimensions, location, and media. Because of its television connection and its appealing contemporary design, this book should find a fairly wide audience, though both greater depth and breadth can still be found in such standard art histories as H.W. Janson's History of Art (Abrams, 1986. 3d ed.).-- Kathryn W. Finkelstein, M.Ln., Cincinnati.
