Produktbeschreibung

Ragamala are pictures that illustrate classical pieces of music and poetry. This book explains the origins and significance of these Indian miniature paintings which unite different genres in a unique way. It presents selected examples and makes music and poetry audible through QR codes. Music acquires a human form whose emotions are explained through tiny details: the call of birds, passing clouds, lightning, the scent of flowers, a hidden tear. This lavishly illustrated multimedia book provides a glimpse into the mysterious world of Indian music, poetry, and painting. The MUSEUM RIETBERG in Zurich is one of Europe's leading museums for World Art and well known for its splendid collection of Asian art. In large temporary exhibitions it presents historical and contemporary masterpieces in the light of new perspectives.
