Indian Art (World of Art)

The book is in a good condition, but there is a bend in the corner when delivered and there are black stuff on the back of the book. As if the book was sliding on the table or rubbing on a dirty surface.Still the book is good and can’t wait to use in my class. :)

My only issue was the edition. The product image is from the newer edition, not the one I received.

An excellent overview for both the general reader and those interested in India alike. Each chapter begins with a brief but informative historical summary of the period in question which gives you a good backdrop for the discussion of the evolution of Indian art. The book is also loaded with great photographs, though only a few are in color and an extensive bibliography. Highly recommend.

Learned a lot about Hindu religion through this book. I actually liked it, though I only read the class required pieces.

I bought this as my textbook. this book is very good and contains lots of information about Indian history and art. and it helps me a great deal in the Asian art history class. the shipment was fast and well wrapped. I love it!!

A concise history indeed! Craven does admit that this book contributes little to the study of Indian art and that it only mentions the most studied works. This text was purchased for an art history course and I would have to say that while it gets the job done, it is not a stand out text by any means.I am not a proof-reader or a literary critic but I found the writing to be "clunky". While reading I got the impression that the author wrote this book from notes or dictations.This book does not do the art of India justice. The text detracted from what I am sure is a fascinating subject. All-in-all, not great.

This book had wonderful depictions and explanations of various types of Indian art. I bought this book for a class but use it as a coffee table book now.

This book is very good for introducing Indian art. The pictures are great and the descriptions are very informative. If you are into art, especially Indian art I'd recommend it.
