Synopsis

The author has tried to create a place within the main frame of culture and philosophy of Indian art for a legitimate analytic theory called despair. His effort creates a space for the modern within Indian classicism by negotiating the philosophy of despair in classical terms. As a result the basic schism that has grown in recent years between the philosophy and history of modern art on the one hand and the philosophy and history of traditional arts, is today closer to being breached. This is no mean achievement.
