This beautifully illustrated book explores the opinions of artists,
critics and others involved with arts or crafts, arguing for a
theory that considers the different discursive formations and
related strategic practices of an art world. Focusing on Orissan
patta paintings in India the author examines the local, regional
and national discourses involved. In so doing, the text
demonstrates that, while painters' local discourses are
characterised by pragmatism, the discourses of regional and
especially national elites are concerned with the exegesis of local
paintings and their association with the great Sanskrit tradition A
central theme of the study focuses on the awards given for skill in
craft making and their changing significance as they pass from
national and regional elites to local painters. It is shown how
certain key actions by local painters result from a clash between
local discourses on the one hand and regional and national
discourses on the other.
