Inspired by the folk traditions of Bengal, he created a unique artistic vision. Thus was the euphoric trajectory of Jamini Roy, the first native genius to have connected rural art to the global. Jamini Roy: A Painter Who Revisited the Roots explores the remarkable career of the maestro from the late 1910s till his very last days. It closely examines not only the steep bends of Roy's art that culminated in his signature style, but also the very process through which he reconnected with his indigenous rootedness. It engages in detail with the influence that various forms of folk art wielded over him. However, Roy's located identity was mediated by the contemporary Modernist idiom, and the elements in his uniquely Bengal-based visual narratives are underpinned by a conscious intention to simplify, abbreviate, and thus reveal the essential, 'significant' form. It also addresses the plural lines of conflicts that underlie the very making of his artbetween the urban and the rural, local and the global. Told in a simple and engaging mode, the book explores the multiple facets of a man for whom art was both a livelihood and a meditative journey, and follows his life of disciplined simplicity along with his quirks and idiosyncrasies. …

Hardcover. Condizione: New. The afterlife of silence is the first-ever comprehensive book on The still life of one of India's leading modern painters. The book takes a close look at the essentials of the European tradition of still life painting and argues that jogen chowdhury's works, while sharing certain common concerns of the tradition also differ significantly from it, and are firmly rooted in his indigenous situatedness. It explores how, in his still life, unregarded, everyday objects are irradiated with new life and unique relational possibilities. It also examines how his still life oscillate between life and death, between stillness and animation, a movement that conceptually underpins the cycle of nature and lived life, and how moments of silence and stillness acquire afterlives with trails of signification that often go beyond the context of particular artworks. The book analyses the development of chowdhury's still life chronologically; a section deals with the distinctive ways in which his still life negotiate with desired its obverse, dreadand manage to create autonomous symbolic systems, addressing the nostalgia of inaccessibility. A separate br>Chapter examines how his familiar Organic lines, used to define human forms, are used in still life forms as well, and in this context, several of his major works are examined closely. This book features about 80 impactful images of chowdhury's paintings and an in-depth interview of the artist by the author that reveals how the painter art is permeated by his universe of ideas and ideals.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Premchand on National Language is a collection of his writings, translated from Hindi into English, spannin the years from 1931 to 1936. The debates over Hindi as national language in the Devanagari script and the nature of contestations with Urdu in the Persian script led to an intellectual polarization that furthered the split between Hindus and Muslims. The need for a common language was generally accepted but to consider Hindi as national language was not accepted easily as its most challenging contender was English. The views and opinions on the issue of Hindi as 'rashtrabhasha' by leaders and intellectuals like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Madan Mohan Malaviya, Makhanlal Chaturvedi, Lady Abdul Qadir, and others, referred to by Premchand gives us an insight into the turbulence of the times. His writings are largely in the form of reports, observations and critical comments that trace the chequered and contested issue of the history of proposing Hindi as the national language and even almost nine decades after, its relevance remains. Hindi, along with English is still not the national language, but the official language of India. (jacket).…
