DOWNLOAD EBOOK-A catalog to accompany the first museum exhibition devoted to the Indian influences in Francesco Clemente's work and relation to the artistic practices and traditions of various regions in India. Features approximately 20 works, including paintings from the last 30 years and four new sculptures created especially for the exhibition. In contrast to leading conceptual art practices of the 1970s, Clemente refocused attention on representation, narrative, and the figure, and explored traditional, artisanal materials, and modes of working. Since his first trip to India in the 1970s, Francesco Clemente immersed himself in the country's rich cultures as well as the everyday life and artistic practices of local people. Transforming ancient symbols, myths, and ideas, he has created a personal visual language of dreamlike landscapes, animals, and human figures drawn from recollections of his travels. Themes of sexuality, mythology, and spirituality, along with imaginary narratives of violence, intrigue, fragmentation, love, separation, and jealousy are seen throughout his oeuvre.---

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book is a study of the so-called school of gTsang smyon, i.e. the religious community that had formed around the Tibetan master gTsang smyon Heruka (1452-1507). Taking into account a comprehensive number of historical sources, the religious and political context of the time is examined and traced back to the generation of the students. The entire literary production of this movement is presented extensively and special attention is paid to the listening tradition of Ras chung pa (ras chung snyan brgyud). A detailed catalog describes over 80 editions of the works that the school produced in the form of block prints in the 16th century; It offers the most comprehensive overview of the production of xylographs to date, along with a substantial corpus for studying the history of the book in Tibet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe map "The Burial mound Sites of Imperial Central Tibet, map scale 1:800.000" is the result of an inter-disciplinary cooperation project between the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Social Anthropology (ISA) and the university of Vienna, department of Geography and Regional Research (IfGR), Section Cartography and Geoinformation. The map illustrates the position of the burial moundfields in the central Tibetan region that have been registered so far by the ?Tibetan tumulus project? (TTT), an Austrian Science Fund (FWF) financed long-term research conducted at the Austrian Academy of Sciences? Institute for Social Anthropology. The entries of districts and key political sites related to the time of the Tibetan Empire (7th-9th cent. CE) form the relevant historical reference for this distribution map. This reveals a tumulus landscape of enormous concentration in the relatively small geographic area of Central Tibet (Dbus-Gtsang region), largely the ancient Bod, which in geographical, economic and political terms formed the heartland of the Tibetan Empire.0The supplement gives insight in the general topic of the burial mound sites of imperial Central Tibet as well as a short overview of the cartographic map structure and creation. It concludes with a listing that represents an adapted version of the site list given on the TTT website.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs one of the finest holdings of Indian art in the West, the Kronos Collections are particularly distinguished for paintings made between the sixteenth and early nineteenth centuries for the Indian royal courts in Rajasthan and the Punjab Hills. These outstanding works, many of which are published and illustrated here for the first time, are characterized by their brilliant colors and vivid, powerful depictions of scenes from Hindu epics, mystical legends, and courtly life. They also present a new way of seeking the divine through a form of personal devotion—known as bhakti—that had permeated India’s Hindu community. While explaining the gods, demons, lovers, fantastical creatures, and mystical symbols that are central to literature and worship, this publication celebrates the diverse styles and traditions of Indian painting. Divine Pleasures features an informative entry for each work and two essays by scholar Terence McInerney that together outline the history of Indian painting and the Rajput courts, providing fresh insights and interpretations. Also included are a personal essay by expert and collector Steven M. Kossak and an examination of Hindu epic and myth in Mughal painting, which lays important foundations for Rajput painting, by curator Navina Najat Haidar. Through their research and observations, the authors deepen our understanding and underscore the significance of Indian painting. Divine Pleasures presents a nuanced view of a way of life intimately tied to the seasons, the arts, and the divine.
