Overview
"Himalayas : An Aesthetic Adventure accompanies an exhibition of the same name, the first to include objects from all major regions of the Himalayas. This illustrated volume, which includes nearly two hundred of the finest works of art created between the sixth and nineteenth centuries in Nepal, India, Kashmir, Pakistan, Tibet, and Bhutan, explores the particular beauty that evolved from the spiritual traditions unique to the Himalayas." "Essays and catalogue entries investigate the cultural milieu in which the works of art - objects of devotion and ritual implements - were created. All works featured in the exhibition, about seventy percent of which have never been published or publicly exhibited, are illustrated in full color. Currently held in private and public collections in North America, Europe, and Asia, these works include temple sculptures of stone, wood, and terracotta; cast bronzes with inlaid semiprecious stones, gilding, and pigment; colorful paintings on cloth, palm leaf, paper, and wood; and ritual objects in various media."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
