Abstract:
Textile Arts of India is the most lavish volume ever published on the magnificent textiles of India. Hundreds of full-color photographs, taken especially for this volume, present a glorious array of cloths: painted and block-printed, roller-printed, tie-dyed, woven, embroidered or exquisitely hand-painted with gold and silver leaf; as well as prized ikats. Dating from the seventeenth to the first half of the twentieth century, this dazzling collection presents a wonderful spectrum of designs, from graceful florals and simple geometric patterns to spectacular day-to-day life. An informative text traces the history of textile manufacturing in India and discusses the various methods of weaving, dying, and other means of decoration. Each textile is accompanied by an identifying caption.
