c5.8

The story of this art may be regarded as being both simple and complex—simple because a thread of unity permeates it, complex because it is a skein of many strands. An art historian of India should have the discriminative insight to unravel the tangled yarns of local, regional and national forms, styles, decorations, influences and contents.
