A good copy. "This is an unusual book, a most unusual book. ... and as if darkness and misery never existed, the paintings which have been put in this book radiate light and joy, spread the message of Love and proclaim Peace. This is not a wilful act but spontaneous choice of the Artist. Because of her natural bent of mind, Janki Gupta (nee Puri) sees only that which is good and that which is beautiful. ... Another remarkable point about this book is that although it could be, in its own right, a study of the paintings of Janki Gupta, the Artist declines to make it that. This, even though her work is of great merit." (From the Introduction). (When referring to this item please quote stockid 131807) ... more |

It helps us to reach the center at which all experience, all being, is compacted into its utmost concentration - the point (bindu), the ultimate goal of all spiritual disciplines. It is precisely this inward-seeking quality that The Ritual Art of India reveals so brilliantly in more than 100 color photographs." Publisher's description.

Ragamala. Paintings from India from the Claudio Moscatelli Collection.
GLYNN, CATHERINE, ROBERT SKELTON AND ANNA L. DALLAPICCOLA. Stock ID: 137081 Map, colour photographic illustrations, 96 pages, square quarto, paperback. Ragamala is a unique form of Indian miniature painting developed by combining a variety of sources including musical codes and accompanying poetry to indicate the time of day, or season, in which the melody should be performed. This new book, and the exhibition it accompanies, presents a fine and rare collection of twenty-four ragamala from the collection of Claudio Moscatelli. They are highly coloured, very delicate and beautifully executed miniatures dating from 1605 to c.1770. The book establishes the importance of ragamala's place in the history of world art and celebrates its literary content; its association with music and its regional styles, and provides an interpretation of its symbolism in a way that makes it accessible to a contemporary audience.
