Great Works of Indian Art (Life & Works Ser.)
Mannering, Douglas
02867519 Hard Cover w/protective Cover. Brand New/Brand New Book Jacket. ISBN:0765198967. For thousands of years, the Indian sub-continent has ben the battleground of conquerors and the birthpalce of great re ligions, so it is hardly surprising that its arts have been uniquely varied and moving. Indian sculpture embraces severe portraits of the Buddha, the Compassionate One, along with female spirits of d isconcerting voluptuousness and wonderfully poised, multi-limbed figures of gods such as shiva. In painting, Hindu miniatuares illustrated the adventures of gods and lovers, while the Mughal emperors patronized a brillant, elegant court art featuring portraits, battle scenes and everyday events such as polo matches. ..No book could do full justice to Indian art, but the many full color plates in T HIS book make a superb introduction to an unforgettable subject! 79 pages. New York, NY, U.S.A.: Smithmark Publishers, Incorporated, 1996
