Paperback. Condition: New. This book is a compilation of art work by various artists (15 artists) on a long standing engagement that has existed with the belief in the universal aspects of the modern , especially in art. Modernism was to be universal; its promises were spelt out in varied forms. They were to be carried out via the double edged means of modernization, and then modernity would come, we were told, in quaint and acceptable utopic terms. These are thoughts of the past era. Moderns, as it appears to us now is a set of differences played out in a variegated, undefined and as yet unformulated field of thoughts and actions. With the wane of the universal and centrist idea of modern , localized and received efforts came to the force, which in yester-year terms might seem only tales of reception and/or effects. They, today, work within the same field, which unites them, but, the irony present as ever. In India, a long standing engagement has existed with the belief in the universal aspects of the modern , especially in art, since art has addressed the universal through a language that gained world wide currency, historically, by the end of the second decade of the twentieth century and lingered on for about four more decades. Abstract though it may sound, this is, in a nutshell, the story of the received modernism in India. Seller Inventory # 835305
