The author wonders why so many Indian studio sculptors today choose to follow their contemporaries in the west since the vision of these peers is the exclusive product of the western historical past which bears little relevance to the complex world that is India. She expresses the hope that dormant cultural dynamics can be reawakened after depth encounters with the great sculpture of India. Hopefully this will result in revitalized native art forms. Diagrams photographs and texts clarify modern insights and reveal inherent patterns structures and systems on the macro level in the cave and built temples and on the micro level in quantum physics. There exists the possibility that these intrinsic tendencies in nature might be the precise point of interaction the path by means of which the modern Indian sculptor can renew contact with indigenous aesthetics. In viewing her own work displayed here in photographs Berkson acknowledges her debt to Indian sculpture in concept style and primarily in vigour. Indeed her dominant themes derive from the rich storehouse of Indian mythology and legend Durga slaying the buffalo demon/God the awesome dance of Siva the man lion Avatara of Visnu Krishna subduing Kaliya and many more. The statues are imbued with Rasa or essence that characterizes all genuine Indian art. While the style is modern and individual the spirit is ancient and universal. 136 pp. …

The authors and the photographer capture the atmosphere of the cave and the spirit of the sculptures, which portray the relentless energy and paradoxical power of Shiva, greatest of all Hindu gods. In the text Wendy O'Flaherty interprets the myths of Shiva depicted in the sculpture; Ms. Berkson's essay supplies historical background and a stylistic analysis; and George Michell examines the overall structure of the cave to show that it is a mandala-like image of the heavenly mountain residence of Shiva and even of the structure of the universe itself.…
