Contemporary Indian Art is give or take a decade, three quarters of a century old. This book covers artists who worked, grew to maturity and established themselves in the post-Independence years. Lakshmi Lal brings to their work the insights of a seasoned viewer whose joy in experiencing art is both infectious and illuminating.
About Author :
Lakshmi Lal started viewing contemporary Indian art in the 50s when she moved from Chennai to live and work in Mumbai. It grew into a deep interest, almost as deep as her interest in ancient Indian myth, legend, philosophy and art. She is the author of The Warlis-Tribal Legends, The Ramayana, Ganesha-Beyond the form, Shiva-Eye of the Strom, Myth and Me-The Indian Story.
She has an M.A. in English from the Madras University and has been a life-long student of Sanskrit Language and Literature, focusing for the past two decades on Vedanta and related texts. She now resides in Banglore.
