Originally published in 1947, The Vertical Man explores a form of
Indian sculpture largely ignored in other studies, with a focus on
two kinds of sculpture from the province of Bihar. The book
provides detailed analysis of the formal characteristics of the
sculpture and the influences of the myth, ritual, and context in
which they were commissioned and made. It explains why the
sculpture is regional and "why the styles are what they are". It is
an original study which throws light on important subjects such as
the relations of art and religion and of art and economics. The
Vertical Man will appeal to those with an interest in art,
specifically sculpture and the art of the Indian countryside.
