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.

Book excerpt: He was the most famous Indian artist of his age: the darling of the royal courts; an artist whose depiction of gods and goddesses as men and women put a human face to divinities; and the entrepreneur who realized his dream of bringing art to the masses. For the first time comes a grippingly told story of Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906), from his early days with the royal family of Travancore in Kerala, to the years he spent teaching himself to paint and blend European art's sensuality with Indian subjects, through to his sojourns into the royal courts of India as a celebrity portraitist, and his move to Mumbai where he started a printing press that left him bankrupt. Beautifully told, immaculately researched and full of colour, this is the first popular biography of one of India's greatest artists.

Download or read book Raja Ravi Varma written by Rupika Chawla and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ravi Varma (1848-1906) was one of the first Indian painters to successfully adopt Western painting techniques and adapt academic realism to the visual interpretation of Indian mythology. His genre of paintings, which eventually lead to chromolithographs (oleographs), has maintained a lasting effect on the Indian sensibility, making him the best-known classical painter of the modern era. This book is an account of Ravi Varma's traditional background and environment and how they related to the modernisation of colonial India, as well as his profession as an aristocratic itinerant painter. Lavishly illustrated with images taken from princely and private collections, and museums, the book includes works that have never been seen before: previously undisclosed maps, letters, photographs and other archival material. A unique feature of this title is that it comes to the customer with a choice of two splendid dust jackets. Customers should indicate their choice of cover [Male/Female] at the time of placing the order.
Download or read book Raja Ravi Varma written by Ganesh V. Shivaswamy and published by Raja Ravi Varma: An Everlasting Imprint. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Series: The six-volume series, Raja Ravi Varma: An Everlasting Imprint, explores the democratization of art in India through the country's foremost modern artist, Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906) and the Ravi Varma Press. Ravi Varma is the central point in this narrative. Although instrumental in popularizing fine art and prints in India, he was not the only person working in this field. Biographies, hitherto, have mainly focused his life and contributions; but this series also studies the role of the many others who participated in this movement. His relatives, tutors, mentors, models, and societal and cultural influences are brought in. The functioning of the Ravi Varma Press is another focus of attention-it is intriguing to note that the establishment was at no point in time ever owned by Raja Ravi Varma, even though it was named after him. Those who carried forward the baton, borrowing and keeping alive the artist's style and icons in the world of cinema, theatre, fashion, design, fine art, are all documented. Along with the creators of this kind of art, the books also consider the opinions shared by viewers. After all, any amount of public fame and recognition entailed not only adulation and praise but also criticism, disapproval, evaluation. The first volume looks at the life and times of Raja Ravi Varma and how he created images which found widespread acceptance and appreciation among common men and women. The second volume describes the setting up of the Ravi Varma Press and the transformative effects of its visual legacy. The remaining volumes look at specific themes depicted in the works of the artist and the Press. The third volume explores visuals and iconography of the divine, while the fourth volume deals with the epics of the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The fifth volume discusses images from the Shrimad Bhagavatam, classical dramas and other Hindu texts, while the sixth and concluding volume turns to imagery of power and the allure of the feminine. About the first volume: The first volume consists of two chapters. The first deals with the life and times of not only Raja Ravi Varma but also the other artists associated with him. The second chapter examines the various aspects which influenced the artist such as Hindu scriptures, dance, models, photography, European art, etc. About the Author: Ganesh V. Shivaswamy is a lawyer from Bengaluru. In addition to his profession, he has taken up the task of structuring the artistic legacy of Raja Ravi Varma. His interest in the artist commenced with a glance of the chromolithographs from the Ravi Varma Press. He now has a substantial collection of the prints from the Press which may well be considered one of the most comprehensive. In 2006, he commemorated the centennial death anniversary of the artist by creating the first online catalogue of prints from the Press. In 2016, he curated an exhibition at the National Gallery of Modern Art, Bengaluru (Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India) titled "Royal Lithography and Legacy". In 2019 he established the Ganesh Shivaswamy Foundation, which immediately thereafter partnered with Google Arts and Culture. To commemorate 125 years since the establishment of the Ravi Varma Press, his Foundation launched chromolithographs from his collection on the Google platform. This was inaugurated by Her Highness Shubhangini Raje, Rajamata Ji of Baroda in September 2019. The following year, his foundation commemorated 150 years of the artist's professional career through further exhibits on the Google Arts & Culture platform.
