This is a comprehensive catalogue of the important collection of Indian art in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and a celebration of the diverse cultures that coexist in India. An introductory essay is followed by the art objects presented in four sections according to the traditional forms of Indian art: sculpture, painting, decorative arts and textiles. The sections on sculpture and painting are further subdivided chronologically according to stylistic periods; the decorative arts and textiles, most of which date from around 1650 to 1900, are grouped by medium (make, metalwork, wool, cotton etc).
Dr Joseph M. Dye was the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Studying under Dr Stella Kramrisch, one of the pioneering scholars in the field of Indian art, he received his doctorate in the history of Indian and Southeast Asian art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. The Arts of India is the culmination of years of curatorial research, travel, and commitment to the study and presentation of Indian art.
