Arts and Crafts of Tamilnadu (Living Traditions of India) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The dividing line between art and craft in Tamilnadu is not easily discernible. With an uninterrupted classical heritage, its craft forms were transformed into works of art - the village terracottas became the great bronzes, the wood carvings became splendid monuments in stone. Unlike other parts of India, Tamilnadu's geographic location in the far south protected it from extraneous influences and made for a certain insularity of culture which strengthened the styles from within.

About the book >.>.> The dividing line between art and craft in Tamilnadu is not easily discernible. With an uninterrupted classical heritage, its craft forms were transformed into works of art the village terracottas became the great bronzes, the wood carvings became splendid monuments in stone. Unlike other parts of India, Tamilnadu's geographic location in the far south protected it from extraneous influences and made for a certain insularity of culture which strengthened the styles from within. Tamilnadu has attained a high level of perfection in almost every craft form. The list is awesome from the jewel-toned silks of Kanchipuram to the enormously high terracotta horses in honour of Ayyanaar, protective deity of the village; from the glory of Pallava stone sculpture to the exquisite bronzes of the Chola age. The state has also achieved impressive heights in jewellery, woodcraft, painting and metalware. At festival time, a unique set of crafts appear, undoubtedly ephemeral but worked with great ingenuity and skill. This book explores. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM499-VG-11008
