| Summary: | "In The Living Tradition, a critical study of modern Indian art as it has evolved through continuous interaction with several traditions, foreign and indigenous, K. G. Subramanyan offers a theoretical groundwork for that 'concerted effort'. In the course of his study, he explores the distinctions between Indian and European traditions, the continuities in India's folk traditions, and the attempts of several thinkers and artists to identify an Indian artistic tradition or to deny it altogether in a quest for personal expression or universality. With over 75 illustrations in colour complementing Subramanyan's thought-provoking essay, The Living Tradition provides readers with a visually engaging exploration of the vibrant tapestry of Indian art"--From inside flap of Dust Jacket. |
