ABOUT THE BOOK
A landmark volume presenting the history of Indian art across the subcontinent
and South Asia from the late 19th century to the present day, published in
association with Art Alive.
Recent decades have seen signiicant growth in the interest, acquisition and
exhibition of modern Indian and South Asian art and artists by major international
museums. This essential textbook, primarily aimed at students, presents an engaging,
informative history of modern art from the subcontinent as seen through the eyes of
prominent Indian academics.
Illustrated throughout with strong narrative content, key experts contribute multiple
perspectives on modernism, modernity and plurality, and expansive ideas about
contemporary art practices. A range of subjects and topics feature including Group
1890, the Madras Art Movement, Regional Modern and Dalit art, as well as artists such
as Amrita Sher-Gil and Raqs Media Collective. This book also has sections devoted to
the art of Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and other parts of South Asia.
Together with lively academic discussions and a selection of absorbing interviews
with artists, this title meets a clear demand for a comprehensive and authoritative
sourcebook on modern, postmodern and contemporary Indian art. It is the deinitive
reference for anyone with an interest in Indian art and non-Western art histories.
