The Magic of Making: Essays on Art and Culture

'In this collection of essays, written over the last 25 years, veteran artist K.G Subramanyan expresses his concerns with a wide range of issues—art, aesthetics, visual perception and creativity; this importance of craft practice and its nurturing; the role and future of old traditions and cultural institutions in the contemporary world; the detrimental effects of the Industrial Revolution and high-technology societies; the constant depletion of the environment; our nation's ability to cope with the education and employment of its divergent multitudes; and the present-day scenes in art, education and society.'
