The fruit of over twenty years teaching experience in India, this book (with over five hundred illustrations and numerous diagrams) though specially written to answer the needs of Indian students, will be of great interest to art lovers and travellers in India and abroad. It includes a simple yet perceptive survey of modern art and its trends, in terms that are comprehensible and meaningful to students. The text is well supported by line drawings on almost every page, and 64 pages of half-tones. The glossary, bibliography and Sanskrit guides are further aids for students and lovers of fine arts and Asian culture.
