Download or read book The Clay Toy Cart written by Shudraka and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping satire of romance, betrayal and intrigue set in ancient India The Clay Toy-cart remains one of the foundational works of Sanskrit drama, having been performed numerous times around the world and even serving as the inspiration for Girish Karnad's highly acclaimed film Utsav. The story follows the fortunes of a rich and beautiful courtesan, Vasantasena, who falls in love with the handsome Charudatta, a former merchant who is now penniless. Although Charudatta is happily married, he is deeply drawn to Vasantasena. The two embark on a love affair that leads to some terrible complications and shocking reversals of fortune-involving violent crime as well as political rebellion-before matters are ingeniously resolved. Padmini Rajappa's lucid translation revitalizes this iconic play for contemporary readers while also shedding light on its unique place in the Sanskrit canon as well as the mystery shrouding the identity of its author.

Download or read book Bosco Sodi written by Jürgen Krieger and published by Die Gestalten Verlag. This book was released on 2015-01-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bosco Sodi creates relief-like three-dimensional surfaces of profound organic beauty. His works are based on a variety of materials and strongly colored paints which he distributes across the canvas. The selection of brilliant colors and the colored pigments, for which he searches throughout the world, allow viewers to experience the artist's work with more than just their sense of sight. They transpose him to another place. Sodi 'composes' his pictures using vertical layers on the canvas and uses a mixture of pure pigment, sawdust, cellulose, natural fibers, water, and glue. He makes use of a very elaborate process to create a surface structure that is remarkably lively. He determines the outer frame, decides on the color of the pigments, and lays down the format of the picture carrier and the amount of material which he then forms on the canvas directly with his hands. But everything that happens after that is an independent process which the artist cannot influence. Although he always works with the same materials, what results are strongly colored monochrome virgin landscapes permeated by a profound beauty. The accompanying video shows Sodi 'constructing' the work ORGANIC BLUE - created in Berlin. Bosco Sodi (b. 1970 in Mexico City) lives and works in Mexico City, Barcelona, Berlin, and New York. With essays by: Agustin Arteaga, Marc Gisbourne, Bernado Pinto de Almeida, Lilly Wei, an interview with Robert Peterson "
