Indian Erotica by Pande, Dr. Alka - 2001

Roli Books / Lustre Press, 2001. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Jacket has moderate wear plus some creasing to upper rear. No tears. Book very clean. Binding tight. 159pp From the earliest of terracotta images of the mother goddess to Tantric diagrams, from celluloid depictions to palm leaf paintings, from modern art and advertising graffiti to the fine details of miniature paintings, this book covers ground that others have not ventured into. Finding a striking continuity in the motifs used in erotic art, it grounds them in the principles that have shaped brush strokes and line drawings, curvatures and camera focuses through the centuries. Varied visuals, some as old as Indian civilisation itself, most as sensuous as the topic they cover, chart this fresh rediscovery..
