The Hindu Temple v2.c12.22

v2.c12.22

In this group are summed up qualities by which mediaeval Indian sculpture is conspicuous. It is neither baroque nor is it romantic; it has nothing to do with idealism but builds with symbol-elements of form the concrete reality (mūrti) of the work of art. The several phases and provinces of Indian art apply themselves, each in its particular livingness, to themes clearly seen and established.
