Over the centuries India, with its genius for painting, has developed myriad traditions and types of painting that constitute, collectively, an "ocean" of visual form. Yet books on Indian painting in the West have focused mainly on miniatures commissioned by Indian emperors and maharajas, with little attention given to popular painting - painting for the people. This book, based on a travelling exhibition that that the curated, is intended as a comprehensive overview of this diverse and fascinating material. It features 21 forms of Indian popular painting, with four-colour and black and white illustrations selected from 30 collections.
