The Making of a New “Indian” Art: Artists, Aesthetics and Nationalism in Bengal, c. 1850–1920
This book offers an analysis of the transformations that occurred in the art and aesthetic values of Bengal during the colonial and nationalist periods. Tapati Guha‑Thakurta moves beyond existing assumptions and narratives to explore the complexities and diversities of the changes generated by Western contacts and nationalist preoccupations in art. She examines the shifts both in the forms and practices of painting as well as in the ideas and opinions about Indian art during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
