Description - Western Artists and India by Shanay Jhaveri
Western Artists and India primarily focuses on important American and European artists and designers who travelled to India and created works inspired by their visits. While providing a valuable portrait of a largely unacknowledged aspect of the history of art produced in India, their journeys serve as the conduit to an examination of the growth of Indian Modernism and rare moments of local patronage.
The book includes seven authoritative essays by noted critics and art historians; four fascinating interviews with the artists Howard Hodgkin, Lynda Benglis, Luigi Ontani and Wolfgang Laib; a specially commissioned contribution by the artist Matti Braun; and portfolios of twenty-eight artists and one publisher. This highly original volume has nearly 400 images - the majority in colour - which include many hitherto unpublished photographs from personal archives.
