well written & informative
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The author is most knowledgable on the subject. He thoroughly explains the symbolism of the art. He also provides a good background for the Hindu religion in general. This book has many photos as well, from statuary to temple shrines. I didn't give it 5 stars because I would have liked more color illus. of paintings & less photos of statues. It still gives a good variety of Hindu art to view, though. I highly recommend it.
