Hardcover. Condition: New. Nathdwara, located in the Aravalli hills of Rajasthan, is home to shrinathji, a fifteenth-century manifestation of the child God Krishna holding up Mount govardhan. Since the establishment of the haveli (temple mansion) in 1671, artists have flocked to the sacred town to adorn the walls where shrinathj…i dwells with painted cloth hangings as well as to provide painted icons for the pilgrimage trade. At one time there were hundreds of artists in the service of shrinathji. This catalogue explores Anil relia's comprehensive collection of Nathdwara paintings and sketches, celebrating the wide-ranging talents of various artists. The painters are creators of icons and storytellers of Krishna exploits. Krishna lives in their everyday lives permeating their thoughts and guiding their brushes. At the same time, they record important events in temple history and portraits of the people who participated in these affairs. The paintings that document festivals adhere to a traditional hieratic style, but the artist displays a Freer hand in telling the exploits of Krishna. A prominent artist showcased in this collection is ghasiram hardev Sharma, a master draughtsman with a penchant for naturalism. He influenced a whole generation of twentieth-century artists and is still held in high esteem.

In Adoration of Krishna Pichhwais of Shrinathji unveils the wondrous world of Pichhwais the devotional textiles that hang behind the image of Krishna as Shrinathji worshipped by followers of Pushti Marg (the Path of Grace) in India. Represented here are masterpieces from Praful and Shilpa Shah's TAPI (Textiles and Art of the People of India) collection of Surat regarded as one of the most significant repositories of India's textile art. Never before has this subject been treated in such depth the book covers the background of the sect the place of these temple hangings in ritual practice and the vast range of mediums and techniques involved in Pichhwai production from the painted Pichhwais of Nathdwara and North India through the artistic gilded prints of the Deccan and the complex kalamkari dye patterned pieces of the Coromandel coast. Also represented is a rare 17 century commemorative Zardozi Pichhwai and examples of embroidery in silk Pichhwais in brocade tinsel prints and finally machine printed fabrics and lace from foreign shores the range is encompassing. In addition there are miniature paintings on paper on glass and even pasted on wood all of them associated with the Vallabhacharya sect. With each type lavishly illustrated in colour the book is a visual and aesthetic delight. An evocative introduction by Prof. B.N. Goswamy leads on to articles on the two main centres of Pichhwai making by textile scholars Dr. Kalyan Krishna and Kay Talwar. The entries cataloguing the collection and describing each Pichhwai the result of painstaking effort by the TAPI research team constitute a mine of information. A unique feature of the book is a selection of stories translated from early vernacular accounts of the sect by Prof. Karuna Goswamy. In Adoration of Krishna is an invaluable resource for designers art historians and anyone interested in the decorative arts of Indian textiles in the context of the spiritual lives of thousands of people in this part of the world. 228 pp.
