5000 Years of Arts and Crafts In India And Pakistan
With 5 Colour Plates and 246 Illustrations in Monochrome
" Art is the vital force ofr a nation, the fountain form which the national life is inspired and sustained. In India, as nowhere else, her splendid art has been the essential basis of culture, the overpowering tendency of her soul, aways illuminatiing the mind of Man, exalting his heart and enriching his life." This is the basic theme of Shanti Swarup's monumental work on the arts and crafts of India and Pakistan, a work supreme in the realm of Indian publishing, with its superb production values, its 5 beautiful colour plates and 246 illustrations in line and half-tone. Here is a visual record in words and pictures of all that is beautiful in Indian arts and crafts - the grace of India's dance forms, and the subtle harmony of her music; the beauty and technical exvellence of painting and sculpture, both ancient and the fairly recent; the majesty and the supreme splendour of her architecture, whether Hindu of Mohammedan, whether of the south or the north, the east or the west; and lastly the essential beauty and the inherent functionalism of her many art -crafts.
There is not an aspect of India's artistic heritage theat the author has ignorede. Here in this one magnificent work is a survey of sculpture, architecture, painting, the dance, music and handicrafts from ancient times to the present day. There is no other existing book so well written and illustrated. There is no tother work dealing with both the true arts and the handicrafts of India, together with her dance forms and her music, in one volume, all told in simple yet engrossing words. It is a presention inspired by devotion and backed by kknowledge.
To all those who are sincerely interested in India's proud artistic heritage, this work will prove very welcome; for it will help them to a better understanding of the true singificance of India's arts and ancient culture.
