Purchase options and add-ons

This concise yet lively new survey guides the reader through 5,000 years of Indian art and architecture. A rich artistic tradition is fully explored through the Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Colonial, and contemporary periods, incorporating discussion of modern Bangladesh and Pakistan, tribal artists, and the decorative arts.

Combining a clear overview with fascinating detail, Mitter succeeds in bringing to life the true diversity of Indian culture. The influence of Islam on the Mughal court, which produced the world-famous Taj Mahal and exquisite miniature paintings, is closely examined. More recently, he discusses the nationalist and global concerns of contemporary art, including the rise of female artists, the stunning architecture of Charles Correa, and the vibrant art scene.

The very particular character of Indian art is set within its cultural and religious milieu, raising important issues about the profound differences between Western and Indian ideas of beauty and eroticism in art.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Partha Mitter's lucidly written 'Indian Art' contrasts most of the books written in unnecessarily difficult academic language of art
    Reviewed in India on May 21, 2018
    In spite of spending almost his entire life in academia, Prof. Partha Mitter's lucidly written 'Indian Art' contrasts most of the books written in unnecessarily difficult academic language of art. This brief writing on Indian Art is invaluable to all kind of people ranging from laymen to art students and academicians.Being a layman I was suggested to read this book and I am reading this book for 3rd time now as I am writing the review. Mostly highlights on Architecture, sculpture and painting from ancient subcontinent to modern practices happening in India.

    Reviewed in Italy on November 16, 2017
    Il libro è ben fatto, naturalmente per chi ha già conoscenze dell'arte indiana e dell'inglese. Fondamentale la presenza delle foto e del linguaggio dettagliato e specifico per l'arte indiana, specie in sanscrito con diacritici.

    3.0 out of 5 stars poor quality paper/images
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2023
    I hadn't bought one of this Oxford series of art books for quite a few years. Very disappointed to see a big decline in paper quality and quality of the illustrations. One of the main reasons I buy art books is to enjoy high quality reproductions of wonderful art, even if rather small. I will never buy one of this series again.
