Set against feminist discourse, this title looks at the iconography of the Indian woman. Traced over the century these images suggest an extraordinary transformation in imaging the Indian woman, as manifested in painting, photography, popular posters and classical cinema.

History & Criticism

This volume brings together essays by artists and scholars as well as excerpts from Meera Mukherjee's diaries and letters to offer an understanding of her art. Choosing bronze as her favourite medium, Meera Mukherjee (1923-1998) formed her own simplistic, modernist, life-like world of sculptures. They possess a 'lifeforce' that speaks to the ordinary being instead of alienating them. Mukherjee's commitment to her practice made her valiant enough to step out of her comfort zone and dedicate herself to visual arts. Her devotion to the craft traditions of India guided her to Madhya Pradesh, Bengal and South India. The artist's language is similar to that of the quotidian life in her immediate surroundings, shedding light upon social issues. This one of a kind volume offers an understanding of Mukherjee's art through the most comprehensive collection of essays by writers who have known her personally and professionally, as well as from translated texts and excerpts from her diary and letters. AUTHOR: Dr. Geeti Sen, a cultural historian and author, is the former Director of the Indian Cultural Centre in Nepal. 146 illustrations and 26 photographs

• This volume, now revised and enhanced, explores the evolution of the leitmotif of Bindu in Raza's art over a span of 50 years\n• Featuring many previously unseen pictures\nThe Bindu has been the leitmotif in S.H. Raza's work, growing in meaning over many years.To this primordial symbol he was introduced as a boy of eight years, in his native village of Kakaiya in Madhya Pradesh. The intensity of the experience remained, pursuing him as a lodestar, surfacing many years later when he was in France with dynamic force as The Black Sun.\nRaza's concern with nature was to explore the elementary principles of time and space which govern the universe. To express these fundamental concepts which form the basis of Indian thought, he used the principles of pure geometry. His use of the point, line square, circle and triangle compose part of a universal language, explored equally by the pioneers of abstract art in 20th century Europe and traditional shilpins in ancient India. This revised edition traces the evolution of a vision over fifty years of painting by an artist who retained his Indian sensibility. His images are improvisations on an essential theme: the mapping out of a metaphorical space in the mind which is India.
