Book Details
The magic makers: folk and tribal arts, based on the collection of Arpana Fine Arts Museum, foreword by Ajeet Cour.
by Jain, P.C.
This book not a mere catalogue, delves deep into each artifact and explores its underlying essence, metaphoric meaning, spiritual connotation, and the message that it reveals. Detailed captions encompassing not mere technical data but also each object's soul apart the book comprises well researched introductory notes, analyzing each aspect of folk art, seeking to classify them into various groups and discovering each group's distinctive character, aesthetic merit, iconographic models and perception of life, something rarely seen in books on folk art, and in catalogues, perhaps never.
