Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd.� 1978. First Indian Edition. Hardcover. New. 23 X 29. Numerous B/w Illustrations. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy has offered in this volume of Visvakarma one hundred illustrations of Indian sculpture chosen without any predilection for creed locus or time. They are placed in four sections entitled Buddhas and Bodhisattvas Brahmanical Divinities Men Women and Nagas and Animals including Avatars. Each section has twenty-five plates. In the domain of Art India was to the orient what Greece was to the occident; it was the fountain-head of inspiration. The art of India was not confined to the skilled creation of objects that had form and beauty; that were of deep religious significance; that were to serve as instruments of propaganda for the pomp pelf and power of some ruler; that were the products of unique minds obsessed by creative imagination; that mirrored the mode of dress decoration images and events of a particular moment in the broad span of time. It was something more. It was a conscious and deliberate attempt to portray the belief cherished by a broad spectrum of humanity that the material word is Maya illusion; that the human soul is identical with Brahman-Tattvam Asi Thou art that. It is the reason why the Indian artists ignored realistic representation of anatomy and proportion. They were bound by injunctions of code custom and tradition. But this did not stifle their efforts in any way; for they were at full liberty with regards to the spiritual quality of their work. It is this bondage with restricted freedom that allowed them to give "a sublimity a monumental calm in which eternity itself echoed." For instance the dancing figure of Siva plates XXX and XXXI shows his great dance of destruction and re-creation of the universe. He is seen performing different actions simultaneously. With the flame he destroys the cosmos; with the tiny drum he taps the rhythm of creation into existence; with the uplifted hand he stills all the dark forces; with the other hand which points to his toes he offers refuge to all; with the right foot he tramples the screaming dwarf who symbolizes this world; he has raised his left foot in the nadanta dance. All around and about him is the swirl of ceaseless turmoil and turbulence; his arms swing; his hairs are flying and in disarray; one of his ear-rings has vanished into the voids of space; yet his face is tranquil-a tranquility beyond description. It is the discipline of artistic technique that enabled the artist to depict the rhythm tension and the discipline of the spirit. Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd.� hardcover

It is one of the great inventions of Indian art. The impossible associations in the real word create a very natural universe of gods. The present monograph ends with the history of the reactions of the European travellers to icons which were so different from their classical ideal of beauty. It leads to a reflection on the problematics of perception and assimilation of form. Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd.� hardcover
