Illustrations: 98 b/w illustrations Description: Idea and Image in Indian Art presents an exercise in the understanding of a few of the fundamental imaginative and aesthetic values of Indian art. The exercise makes full use of the archaeology and iconography of Indian art, but is not concerned with either. Its principal concern is Indian art, the author underlines. What in Indian art this exercise seeks to explore, is the nature and character of the relationship between IDEA and IMAGE, both in a process of change through time under the stress of situations which socio-religious and ideological as much as aesthetic and technical. From the rich repertory of ideas or themes on which imaginative and intellectual speculation in India as articulated in literary language, have always been very subtle, abstruse and abstract, the author has chosen three, with a view to find out as to how these IDEAS were concretized in terms of IMAGES through the medium of the plastic language of sculpture, and how the forms of IMAGES in their turn, affected the lives of the respective IDEAS. In the process the author has traversed the entire field of high Indian art. The author does not claim that his exercise is anything more than an experimental one. If it opens up a new line of inquiry in the field of Indian art and aesthetics it will have justified itself, he hopes nevertheless.

This book argues that the development of symbols and signs informing scripts, mainly the idea of coding thoughts through symbols and images, has always been uniquely ‘historical.’ Rock art abuts and occupies long periods of time in which the translation of indigenous thoughts was perfected through numerous mnemonic practices.

Serious study of the art of India began only in the nineteenth century. This small volume provides a masterly overview of the scholarship of the past century and a half. Mr. Chandra's purpose is twofold: to help present–day students understand their scholarly heritage, and to encourage them to re-examine their own methods and assumptions. His histographical approach enables him to pay tribute to the great achievements of the pioneers in the field and also to notice the manner in which errors of fact and method have crept into some of the contemporary thinking and writing on the subject. Rather than attempt to discuss the writings of every scholar of note, he restricts himself to a few whose work, in his opinion, clearly represents the various stages of the development of the discipline. In analyzing their contributions, he concentrates on the broad methodological thrust of their work and not on the details of their conclusions. The study of architecture is considered first, because it was regarded by the ancient Indians as the most important of the visual arts and was the earliest of the arts to receive careful, analytic treatment in modern times. Sculpture is taken up second, and last the study of Indian painting, the area in which the most remarkable progress has been made in the last twenty–five years. In the course of the discussion many topics of broad interest are touched upon, including the relation of art history to the other disciplines, problems presented by various methods of classification, iconography and iconology, the relevance of style, the meaning of form, and the connection between artists and patrons.
