Forgotten Masters
Author: William Dalrymple
Publisher: Philip Wilson Publishers
ISBN: 1781301018
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
As the East India Company extended its sway across India in the late eighteenth century, many remarkable artworks were commissioned by Company officials from Indian painters who had previously worked for the Mughals. Published to coincide with the first UK exhibition of these masterworks at The Wallace Collection, this book celebrates the work of a series of extraordinary Indian artists, each with their own style and tastes and agency, all of whom worked for British patrons between the 1770s and the bloody end of the Mughal rule in 1857. Edited by writer and historian William Dalrymple, these hybrid paintings explore both the beauty of the Indian natural world and the social realities of the time in one hundred masterpieces, often of astonishing brilliance and originality. They shed light on a forgotten moment in Anglo-Indian history during which Indian artists responded to European influences while keeping intact their own artistic visions and styles. These artists represent the last phase of Indian artistic genius before the onset of the twin assaults - photography and the influence of western colonial art schools - ended an unbroken tradition of painting going back two thousand years. As these masterworks show, the greatest of these painters deserve to be remembered as among the most remarkable Indian artists of all time.

Building the Brafferton
Author: Danielle Moretti-Langholtz
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780996804158
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Building the Brafferton exhibition catalogue is the first scholarship to examine the history of William & Mary's Indian School within the wider networks of trade, politics of church and state, and Great Britain's colonial enterprise in North America. In this volume, the authors seek to reconnect the College, who founded and funded the institution, to Native communities and the Indian students. By highlighting the life histories of select Brafferton students, the Brafferton Indian School can be seen as a living legacy for both indigenous peoples and William & Mary. The illustrated catalogue features new original research from Danielle Moretti-Langholtz, Buck Woodard, Ashley Atkins Spivey, Edward Chappell, Audrey Horning, Susan Kern, Mark Kostro, Alexandra Martin, Stephanie Pratt, Dylan Ruediger, Sydney Stewart and Michaela Wright as well as a Foreword from former Muscarelle Museum of Art Director Aaron H. De Groft and a Preface by former William & Mary President W. Taylor Reveley.
