Book Description
Position Of The Creative Arts In Society Raises Certain Questions In The Minds Of People, Specially Those Who Are Concerned With Them. Why Art, And Its Need For Human Expression? How Is Art To Be Evaluated? What Are The Different Levels On Which Expression Through Art Takes Place? What Separates Good Art From Bad Art? How Does Art Document And Communicate? What Is Beauty, And How Do Recent Trends Reflect Its Changing Connotation? Difficult As These Questions Are, They Need To Be Answered In A Way Which Makes Art More Meaningful. After Wielding The Brush, Playing The Sitar, Interacting With Other Creative Arts, Administrating And Teaching For Decades, Omprakash Sharma Has Put Together All His Experiences To Present A Holistic View Of The Arts. Thus The Ideas Expressed In This Book Are Of Someone Who Has Himself Been Involved In The Process Of Creating Art-Its Ecstasies, Trials And Agonies. This Lends The Book A Purposeful Subjectivity. At The Same Time, The Numerous References Or Observations Made By Others In Their Creative Journey Impart To It A Vital Objectivity. The Creative Arts Have Generated Tremendous Interest And Dialogue In The Past Few Decades. Therefore Such A Book Was Greatly Needed And It Is Hoped That Art In Art Will Bring The Necessary Perspective.

Book Description
When, almost twenty years ago, we founded the World of Art, we had a burning desire to liberate Russian artistic activity from the tutelage of literature, to instil in the society around us a love of the very essence of art, and that was the aim we had when we took the field. We considered enemies all those “who fail to respect art as such”, those who either fasten wings to an old nag or harness Pegasus to the cart of “social ideals”, or reject the idea of Pegasus altogether. For that reason, we addressed ourselves to the artistic world with the slogan “Talents of all directions, unite!” And that is how in our ranks Vrubel immediately appeared alongside Levitan, Bakst alongside Serov, Somov alongside Maliavin. – Alexander Benois

Book Description
The Hindu-Buddhist Sculpture of Ancient Kashmir and Its Influences is primarily based on the study of the largely unpublished corpus of sculpture, mostly of stone, in the Sri Pratap Singh Museum in Srinagar, and of other examples in situ elsewhere in the valley. The disparate nature and fragmentary condition of these sculptures as well as their artistic and iconographical influences have for long defied accurate analysis. The method used in the classification of these sculptures is based on close analysis of their style concentrating on recurring features such as facial and physical typology, modelling, dress and ornamentation. Comparisons are made with other examples of Kashmir bronze, ivory and stone sculpture in private and public collections both within India and abroad.
