'This book offers a path-breaking analysis of the transformations that occurred in the art and aesthetic values of Bengal during the colonial and nationalist periods. Tapati Guhu-Thakurta moves beyond most existing assumptions and narratives to explore the complexities and diversities of the changes generated by Western contacts and nationalist preoccupations in art. She examines the shifts both in the forms and practices of painting as well as in the ideas and opinions about Indian art during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.' (Cover page)

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。
