Scroll Paintings of India (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Scroll paintings were once considered visual aids which accompanied story telling by wandering mendicants or bards. Today, the story telling has come down considerably, what remains are the paintings. These are collector's pieces which grace many a wall or home or gallery. The paintings are beautiful, accurate presentation of a story. They stand out for the naive innate charm. The book covers 4 of the scroll paintings which are alive and made with gusto, though are fast losing out in the modern world. These are the Phad from Rajasthan, the Patua or Pata paintings from Bengal, the Cherial paintings of Andhra Pradesh and Chitrakathi from Maharashtra. The book covers the paintings, its making as also the story telling component. The huge scrolls have now been replaced by paintings which can be framed and hung on walls. But it does not in any way diminish the intricacy of the painting. It is done with equal care. The themes for the wall paintings are taken from the original story telling and are compressed ones.

Autorenporträt

I am passionate about writing especially on Craft, Travel, Art, Environment, food and more... Along with the wordsmithing comes taking images to accompany the writings. Meaning yes, I have a good stock of wonderful images as well as stories from India. It is the documentation and research on crafts especially textiles along with offbeat locales, unusual wonderful tasting natural food which spurs me on. In another avatar I do market research, pre-investment feasibility studies & financial analysis for investing. My work has been published in India and abroad in leading magazines Design Today, Swagat, Discover India, Jetwings, Apparel.....

vistors2delhi.com is a labour of love for a city which has been my home for so long and has given me so much. The book is a labour of love of hunting and collecting things in Delhi.

Among other things, I collect interesting dolls, vessels, books, textiles... I collect both vintage, antique and contemporary pieces of Indian textiles and those from abroad. And occasionally part with it!
