DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe volume is a study of the evolution of art from the perspectives of chronology and thematic considerations. It attempts to show the ability of art to constantly reinvent itself to reflect the changing worldviews. The chronological perspective examines the factors behind transformation of art from traditional art to modern art to post-modern or contemporary art. The thematic perspectives are concerned with changes in depiction of society, sex, the artist's psyche and the power of money in art. It examines the historic controversies in western art and impact of other cultures on Indian art. It also explores the link between art and spirituality, draws parallels between modern art and modern physics. It deals with some serious issues like the impact of art on society and the significance of modern art in particular—whether it represents progress or is a kind of hoax.0.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe sensuous human form-elegant and eye-catching-is the dominant feature of premodern Indian art. From the powerful god Shiva, greatest of all yogis and most beautiful of all beings, to stone dancers twisting along temple walls, the body in Indian art is always richly adorned. Alankara (ornament) protects the body and makes it complete and attractive; to be unornamented is to invite misfortune. In The Body Adorned, Vidya Dehejia, who has dedicated her career to the study of Indian art, draws on the literature of court poets, the hymns of saints and acharyas, and verses from inscriptions to illuminate premodern India's unique treatment of the sculpted and painted form. She focuses on the coexistence of sacred and sensuous images within the common boundaries of Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu "sacred spaces," redefining terms like "sacred" and "secular" in relation to Indian architecture. She also considers the paradox of passionate poetry, in which saints praised the sheer bodily beauty of the divine form, and nonsacred Rajput painted manuscripts, which freely inserted gods into the earthly realm of the courts. By juxtaposing visual and literary sources, Dehejia demonstrates the harmony between the sacred and the profane in classical Indian culture. Her synthesis of art, literature, and cultural materials not only generates an all-inclusive picture of the period but also revolutionizes our understanding of the cultural ethos of premodern India.
