Book excerpt: The present work contains a brief study of the various facets of Mithila folk-arts and paintings, which are unique in character having few parallels. Of late there has been great talk about this painting, the central inspiration of which revolves round popular religious themes and natural surroundings. They reflect the self-control and serenity of Maithila life and the definite theocratic and aristocratic organizations of Maithila society. The women painters of Mithila aimed at giving clear and edifying expression to certain intuitions, which formed part of their religion. The different forms of floor-drawings (Aripana) and walk-paintings (bhitti-citra) provide information on customs and costumes and rituals and religion which otherwise may remain unnoticed. The volume further explains in detail the religious and spiritual significance of the folk-arts and paintings of Mithila by means of copious references to Sanskrit texts, both sacred and secular. The paintings, as they are, constitute not merely a heap of drawings but a visible symbol of aspirations of pious ladies, and the throbbings of their hearts in religious fervour. A work of inestimable interest both for the specialist and for the connisseur interested in the study of Indian paintings, this comprehensive and authoritative volume on Madhubani painting and other folk-arts of Mithila will prove of immense help to students of Indian culture.

Download or read book Madhubani Art written by Sushma Bahl and published by Niyogi Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madhubani art's origin is believed to go back to the ancient era of the Ramayana, when the town was decorated by inhabitants of the region for the wedding of Lord Rama and Sita with elaborate wall paintings and murals. The philosophy of Madhubani art is essentially based on the principle of dualism. The artscape appears inundated with divine deities, the sun and moon, and flora and fauna along with features found in Buddhism, Islamic Sufism, tantric symbols and classical Hinduism. Primarily a significant socio-cultural engagement for the womenfolk of Bihar, this art was a welcome break from their daily drudgery. Immersed in the folklore of Mithila, fresh forms and figures are painted and repainted on walls and floors of their homes to mark special occasions. Well-established procedures are followed and techniques are passed on from one generation to the next, keeping the ephemeral art form and ancestral tradition and its lore alive. Madhubani artists today are seen to work more with brushes and acrylic paint rather than natural dyes and pigments. They now also work on paper, cloth, canvas and wood to create art and artifacts, besides painting on walls and floors. Contents: Foreword by H.E.M.S. Puri, Ambassador of India in Belgium; Preface by Martin Gurvich; Imaging the Divine: Artscape of Bharati Dayal by Sushma K Bahl; Krishna; Shiva; Ganesha; Devi; The Mahabharata Nature; Bharati Dayal.

Book excerpt: India's Madhubani (or Mithila) art that hails from the Madhubani town of Mithila region in Northern Bihar, is one of the distinctive and significant art forms of India. The Mithila region is well known as the seat of South Asia's ancient powerful kingdoms and is an epitome of learning, art and culture. For many centuries, women from the region have been painting their walls, floors and in recent times on paper (since 1966)-sharing their stories and domestic rituals (depicting the various elements in nature like the sun, the moon, religious plants, Hindu religious motifs, social events and more) through this highly totemic art form. The skills are passed on from one generation to the next.While conducting a recent research (Merrh-ma~Samanvaya: Socio-Economic Impacts of Indian Migration To Australia), an interesting fact came to the fore- that of use and prominence of 'dots' in paintings- both in Indian Madhubani Paintings as well as Australian Aboriginal Dot Paintings. As we know, Madhubani paintings have its origin in the ancient historical city of Mithila. Mithila is geographically located in North of India. It had political and cultural connections with its adjoining states in Central India from where it is believed the ancient migrations from India to Australia took place thousands of years ago.In the coming days, we shall unravel many more interesting facts by digging a few thousand years of historical details and evidences. Can we connect the dots? Was there ever a confluence of these two ancient and totemic art forms?As a noted Madhubani artist (will be introduced soon) said to us about the significance of 'dots' in her art form, "The dots...they are everywhere; Connecting them gives the context- a philosophy, a perspective, which endures and renders the power of scattered unitary initiatives and their appearance-as a collective power..."'Dots 2 Art: Exploring Indian Madhubani Art From The Backyard Of Australian Dot Painting', is an Aei4eiA initiative supported by Incredible India, Ministry of Tourism, Government of India.
