Chandra, Pramod

The Sculpture of India, 3000 Bc - 1300 Ad

Washington, DC, National Gallery of Art, 1985. Softcover. Gray pictorial wraps with white lettering and green spine; 224 pp. bw illustrations throughout. "A deliberate attempt has been made in this exhibition to give the viewr an impression of Indian sculpture as a whole, in all the rich diversity of idioms that flourished in the ancient regions of the country. Within a broad stylistic framework, which at any given time stretched across vast regions, a wealth of distinctive local characteristics contributed to its surpassing excellence. Side by side with works of grand conception and majestic power are those cast in more intimate modes, both lyrical and delicate. Together with images of absorbing spirituality are those of innocent sensuousness; in mood they range from the colessal to the miniature. The finest pieces often display a whole range of these qualitites, and the unity of the sculptor's vision is not disrupted by the great variances in scale. The forms range from the early rendering of smooth volumes expanding outward from an inner core to the complexity of sharp planes filled with tension. The completely naturalistic or the totally abstract could conceivably be found in these works, but the best of Indian sculpture combines both of these qualities." - quote from Introduction p. 19.
