paperback. Condición: Good. National Gallery of Canada / Bayeaux Arts, 1997. Soft cover, 166 pp. In good+ condition. Glossy illustrated paper covers have a small nick to the fore-edge of the front cover and light bumping and creasing to edges and corners and light overall scuffing with a bit of the color scuffed off along the edges. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. NOT Ex-Library. NO remainder marks. Full color illustrations. Acquired in 1980, the Max Tanenbaum collection features significant artworks from South Asia and the Himalayan region. The collection primarily includes Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist art, with a special emphasis on pieces from India, Nepal, and Tibet. This catalog showcases the spiritual and artistic heritage of the region through vibrant sculptures, paintings, and other objects of devotion. [From Preface by Pratapaditya Pal] [ . . . [U]pon familiarizing myself with the collection, I realized that writing an introduction to the arts of the Indian subcontinent, Nepal, and Tibet - the three regions represented in the collection - would not be an easy task. No single collection in any institution is complete enough to cover the entire history of art created in these areas. I have, therefore, organized the book in a manner intended to provide readers, especially those with little familiarity with the arts of the region, with sufficient background information to immerse themselves further in the extensive literature on the subject. To make it easier for the general reader, diacritical marks for Sanskrit words have been avoided in the text and Tibetan names have been spelled phonetically. The index, however, spells all such words in die proper academic mode. Contents include: Foreword; Acknowledgements; Preface; Art and Religion; Nature in Indo-Tibetan Art; Religious Sculpture; Indian Painting; Tibetan Painting; Portraiture in Indo-Tibetan Art; Works in the Max Tanenbaum Collection; Selected Bibliography; Index.
