The first, text-only volume of a classic account of 5,000 years of Indian art
The Art of Indian Asia is a unique work of scholarship and photography in two volumes (each sold separately). This is the first volume, which contains the text; the second volume, available separately, contains the photographic illustrations. Together, the two volumes present a comprehensive view of Indian art, spanning from 3000 BC to the twentieth century and an area from Afghanistan to Bali. The volume of text combined with the volume of photographs form an "imaginary temple" that conveys the spiritual messages of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
It is recommended that readers buy both volumes of The Art of Indian Asia because together they form an integrated work-Volume 1 containing only the text and Volume 2 containing only the photographs.
Heinrich Zimmer (1890-1943) was an Indologist, linguist, and historian of South Asian art. His books include Myths and Symbols in Indian Art and Civilization, Philosophies of India, and The King and the Corpse (all Princeton). Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was the author of many books on comparative mythology, including The Hero with a Thousand Faces and The Masks of God.
