Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. This volume reveals the roles of foreign and Indian Jews in the Indian national art project and raises many issues: Is an "Indian artist" any artist born into an Indian family? What role can foreigners and members of Indian minority groups play in the Indian National Art Project as scholars, critics, or artists? Is a piece of work "Indian art" because of its subject matter or its style? Is it possible to utilize "foreign techniques" in creating "Indian art"? Can the demands of personal individual creativity and the national art project be in dynamic tension with each other or are they always in opposition? How can artists retrieve the connections to their roots without being limited by them? In what ways does the modernization and change in India reflect changes in other societies? How can artists transcend the hegemony of established Western modes of thought and creativity? Jews and the Indian National Art Project documents the work of artists such as Anna Molka Ahmed, Mirra Alfassa (The Mother), Siona Benjamin, Carmel Berkson, and Fredda Brilliant as well as those of photographers (David Mordecai and Man Ray) and architects (Otto Königsberger, Moshe Safdie). Also covered in this volume are the work of critics, scholars and art patrons like Ernst Cohn-Wiener, Charles Fabri, Stella Kramrisch and Marion Harry Spielmann.…
