Arts of India

In traditional India art reflected and further strengtheneed an integrated living. The focus was architecture, primarily the great temples. Sculpture and painting enlivened it, music hymned the gods, dance was ritual worship, crafts developed under its patronage. The book, by a well-known humanist and author of about forty scholarly researched and elegantly written works, gives in outline the history of these six arts and is profusely illustrated in colour and black and white.
