India’s art and craft have experienced one of the most incredible journeys in history. The influences ranged from religious beliefs to foreign elements. From Pichwai depicting Krishna’s life to Mughal art with their court and architectural depictions, the art forms were nuanced, intricate and visually stunning. The use of natural dyes, fabric and wood shavings, added a whole new dimension and elevated these art pieces to the highest echelons.
With the advent of European art, renaissance and modern masterpieces, all of which hold a special place in the art world, it is imperative to keep the traditional art forms alive and allow a dialogue of these various works of art through their visually appealing and historically significant references.
