Download or read book My Pilgrimage To Ajanta Bagh written by Mukul Chandra Dey and published by Gyan Books. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises the fascinating story of an Indian artist s experiences in the Ajanta and Bagh caves which house the most wonderful fresco paintings of ancient India, some of them dating back to pre-Christian era. The wall paintings of Ajanta have been the subject of elaborate and sumptuous works like those of Griffith and Yazdani. These voluminous publications are for scholars and specialists but far beyond the reach of general readers. The present volume serves, to a great extent, the purpose of the latter group. The author, Sri Mukul Chandra Dey, one of those artists who sought to revive the art of Indian spirit, went to Ajanta and Bagh in the spirit of a pilgrim. The present work embodies his experiences during these pilgrimages and his appreciation of those master-pieces of Indian art, unsurpassed till today. The illustrations in this book are party from the copies the author prepared during his stay near the caves and partly from photographs taken earlier by others. The author have selected the illustrations with great aesthenic sense. In a chapter on the life of Gaytama Buddha, the author has provided his readers with the interpretation of a number of Buddhist paintings in Ajanta. The vivid descriptions of the site and of the carving of caves in a wonderful lucid language literally overwhelms the reader and make him feel as if he is in the surroundings. The work is a good piece of literature, a fascinating travelogue and a well-written work on Indian art by an artist.

Download or read book Worldly Affiliations written by Sonal Khullar and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-05-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of art, the Paris-trained artist Amrita Sher-Gil wrote in 1936, is to "create the forms of the future” by “draw[ing] its inspiration from the present.” Through art, new worlds can be imagined into existence as artists cultivate forms of belonging and networks of association that oppose colonialist and nationalist norms. Drawing on Edward Said’s notion of “affiliation” as a critical and cultural imperative against empire and nation-state, Worldly Affiliations traces the emergence of a national art world in twentieth-century India and emphasizes its cosmopolitan ambitions and orientations. Sonal Khullar focuses on four major Indian artists—Sher-Gil, Maqbool Fida Husain, K. G. Subramanyan, and Bhupen Khakhar—situating their careers within national and global histories of modernism and modernity. Through a close analysis of original artwork, archival materials, artists’ writing, and period criticism, Khullar provides a vivid historical account of the state and stakes of artistic practice in India from the late colonial through postcolonial periods. She discusses the shifting terms of Indian artists’ engagement with the West—an urgent yet fraught project in the wake of British colonialism—and to a lesser extent with African and Latin American cultural movements such as Négritude and Mexican muralism. Written in a lucid and engaging style, this book links artistic developments in India to newly emerging histories of modern art in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Drawing on original research in the twenty-first-century art world, Khullar shows the persistence of modernism in contemporary art from India and compares its function to Walter Benjamin’s ruin. In the work of contemporary artists from India, modernism is the ground from which to imagine futures. This richly illustrated study juxtaposes little-known, rarely seen, or previously unpublished works of modern and contemporary art with historical works, popular or mass-reproduced images, and documentary photographs. Its innovative art program renders newly visible the aesthetic and political achievements of Indian modernism.
