Studies in Indian Art c2.3

c2.3

In the essays assembled here we have given equal emphasis both on the external form and the inner meaning. Indian art consists of many great Schools of local and national character through which the soul of India found its adequate expression, which has been recorded in the religious and classical literature of the country. As such art is vested in a wide terminology found in literature and *Śilpa* texts. We believe in extracting this material with as much care as possible. This is a new approach about which much more needs to be done. This will reveal the truth of Indian art in a more intimate manner.
