In common with the rest of the country South India has magnificent examples to represent this tradition.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chinese art the representation is as the eye sees; in Indian art it is not only as the eye sees but also as the touch feels, as there is always effort to portray the volume of the figure.  Paintings in India make an attempt at modeling.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book by C Sivaramamurti on South Indian paintings is the product of his thorough knowledge of art in his native South India and of his intimate familiarity with Sanskrit texts, both those concerned primarily with the arts and those on other themes, referring incidentally to painting, painters and their methods. He has provided a framework of history within which to place the evolution of painting in the South, citing epigraphical evidence when pertinent.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book for the first time brings together examples of paintings in the South, from the earliest fragments of murals still surviving, upto the paintings on walls, in albums and on panels of the recent past.  It provides a coherent survey through periods and styles of painting in a part of India where art developed over a long period of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Indian subject, interpreted through Indian vision and Indian sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"C Sivaramamurti \/ Publications Division \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153616302448,"sku":"2164","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/1881.jpg?v=1793911641","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/south-indian-paintings","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
