Download or read book Pakistan written by Marian Rengel and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2003-12-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a part of the Indus Valley civilization, one of the oldest agricultural regions in the world, Pakistan's identity is deeply rooted in Indian tradition. From its most famous archeological sites such as Mohenjo-Daro, or the "Mound of the Dead," to its struggle with independence from British India, students gain a broad-based view of Pakistan and its importance as a South Asian country. With religious views that span the millennia, Pakistan hosts a cache of diverse opinions, art, and architecture surrounding Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Students also gain an understanding of contemporary conflicts in Pakistan such as those surrounding the disputed areas of Jammu and Kashmir and the continued rivalry between the Sunni and Shi'a Muslims.

Download or read book Image Identity written by Akbar Naqvi and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essentially written as a reference point for the general reader interested in or doing research on the history of Pakistani art. It focuses on painting and sculpture as the two mediums of art in the subcontinent. The first two chapters of the book present the period of the downfall of Mughal art, the materialization of the East India Company art, and the eventual Western style of the Raj art form. Naqvi presents Pakistani art as a distinguished aspect of Muslim heritage of the subcontinent. Works of several pioneers of modern art, such as Zubeida Agha and Shakir Ali are analyzed in detail. Particular focus is given to how modern Pakistani artists juxtapose cubism and abstract images with the traditional subcontinental style of art, using the rich heritage to make individual expressions that our culture is familiar with and can relate to. A chapter is dedicated to the women artists of Pakistan, who are using their art as a medium to define and represent their emerging independence as the current context of gender awareness would have it. The chapter on sculpture exposes, for the first time, the vibrancy and growth of this medium in Pakistan.

Download or read book Hanging Fire written by Salima Hashmi and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accompanying the first U.S. museum exhibition devoted to contemporary art from Pakistan, this dynamic catalogue provides a groundbreaking look at recent and current trends in Pakistani art. Hanging Fire covers a fascinating range of subjects and media, from installation and video art to sculpture, drawing, and paintings in the "contemporary miniature" tradition. Essays by distinguished contributors from a variety of fields, including Salima Hashmi, Pakistani-American sociologist and historian Ayesha Jalal, and the celebrated novelist Mohsin Hamid, place contemporary Pakistani art in a cultural, historical, and artistic perspective. The book's title, Hanging Fire, alludes to the contemporary economic, political, and social tensions--both local and global--from which these artists find their creative inspiration. It may also suggest to the viewer to delay judgment, particularly based on assumptions or preconceived notions about contemporary society and artistic expression in Pakistan today. Distributed for the Asia Society Museum Exhibition Schedule: Asia Society and Museum (9/10/09 - 1/3/10)

Download or read book Intersections of Contemporary Art Anthropology and Art History in South Asia written by Sasanka Perera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking South Asia as its focus, this wide-ranging collection probes the general reluctance of the cultural anthropology to engage with contemporary visual art and artists, including painting, sculpture, performance art and installation. Through case studies engaged equally in anthropology and visual studies, contributors examine art and artistic production in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal to bring the social and political complexities of artistic practice to the fore. Demonstrating the potential of the visual as a means to understand a society, its values, and its politics, this volume ranges across discourses of anthropology, sociology, biography, memory, art history, and contemporary practices of visual art. Ultimately, Intersections of Contemporary Art, Anthropology and Art History in South Asia simultaneously expands and challenges the disciplinary foci of two fields: it demonstrates to art criticism and art history the necessity of anthropological and sociological methodologies and theories, while at the same time challenging the “iconophobia” of social sciences.
