South Asia is well known for its vibrant visual culture, with a
rich artistic tradition that stretches back over two millennia.
Traditional Arts of South Asia: continuity in contemporary
patronage and practice examines the challenges of modernity to the
development, understanding and practice of the traditions of
architecture, sculpture, textiles and paintings of South Asia in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Included are studies of
traditions of art in India and Sri Lanka in the context of the
nineteenth century British Arts & Crafts Movement; the
production and consumption of block-printed cloth and other
textiles in western India; the impact of modern technology on the
mass reproduction of Hindu imagery; tradition and innovation in the
practice of bronze-casting and temple painting in south India; and
the patronage and design of religious architecture, both Hindu and
Islamic, in modern South Asia. The papers included are by a
distinguished group of eleven scholars and practitioners of
traditional arts from India, Pakistan, Britain and the United
States.
