Allen Lane Conversations: India's Leading Art Historian Engages with 101 themes, and More

Dr. B. N. Goswami an authority on miniature paintings of India has put foreword in depth study on 101 paintings in this volume. Interesting read.

His lucid and simple writing comes to us as a treat for those interested in arts and are beginning to learn about art. Simple short chapters that span a few pages that take not more than 6-7 minutes would also help those who want to read something. Though, a lot is there to this. But a good beginning this book is.

The poorly rendered colour plates totally discredit the wonderful writing by Goswamiji. Picture quality worse then one could find even in cheap pirated copies that one can purchase on roads

Pretty interesting and well written

Each small capsule resembles like having conversation on interesting and creative aspects of art. It appeals equally to those who are art lovers, students, masters or even to someone who can't even draw. It's fun and insightful but the author, who is a master critic, must come with second and third and fourth part of such conversations. Must buy and start reading from any page - I am sure you will get engrossed and emerge as more sensitive person towards various art forms.
