Shilpa Charcha

In the last century, when modernism was synonymous with western art forms, and Indian art was considered non existent, Nandalal Basu (or Bose) was one of the pioneers who studied traditional forms and brought it out of obscurity through his own work. This book covers a variety of subjects, from indigenous methods of making paint to a range traditional works of art from Tibet thanka to Jaipuri araes and Jagannath Pots.
