'"The fulfillment of a modern Indian artist's wish to be part of a living tradition, i.e. to be individual and innovative, without being an outsider in his own culture, will not come of itself, it calls for concerted effort." K. G. Subramanyan, the eminent Indian artist, offers a theoretical groundwork for that effort in his critical study of modern Indian art as it has evolved through continuous interaction with several traditions, foreign and indigenous. In the course of his study, he touches on the national distinctions between the Indian and European traditions, on the continuities in India's folk traditions, and on 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. A generous selection of illustrations accompanies the text and greatly contributes to the enjoyment and understanding of Subramanyan's discourse.' - extracted from the opening page

Divided into 12 sections, this book uses as examples artworks by various Indian artists, artworks as far back as the Ajanta cave murals to more modern pieces such as Abanindranath Tagore's watercolour paintings. Other Indian artists include F. N. Souza, S.H. Raza, and Nandalal Bose. The book also discusses Western artistic movements in the light of various artists, such as Velasquez, Matisse, and Picasso.

印度藝術活傳統

印度獨立後,專注農村藝術和工藝的官方機構和博物館隨即湧現,而藝術家們亦致力研究傳統藝術手法的處境、技術和實踐。此舉喚起傳統如何適應二十世紀的新疑問,觸發人們探索現代和傳統藝術的關係,從而為失落中的傳統藝術及其保存,構築了一個可持續的環境。巴羅達的藝術家們亦透過建制倡議、研究項目、藝術家交流、農村工匠作坊和一年一度的美術博覽會,作出響應。
