Ananda K. Coomaraswamy (1877-1947) was a pioneer in Indian art
history and in the cultural confrontation of East and West. A
scholar in the tradition of the great Indian grammarians and
philosophers, an art historian convinced that the ultimate value of
art transcends history, and a social thinker influenced by William
Morris, Coomaraswamy was a unique figure whose works provide
virtually a complete education in themselves. Finding a universal
tradition in past cultures ranging from the Hellenic and Christian
to the Indian, Islamic, and Chinese, he collated his ideas and
symbols of ancient wisdom into the sometimes complex, always
rewarding pattern of essays. "The Door in the Sky" is a collection
of the author's writings on myth drawn from his "Metaphysics" and
"Traditional Art and Symbolism," both originally published in
Bollingen Series. These essays were written while Coomaraswamy was
curator in the department of Asiatic Art of the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts, where he built the first large collection of Indian art
in the United States.
