Aprašymas
A study of a set of sixteenth-century wall paintings at the Gyapagpa Temple in Nako, a village in India's Himachal Pradesh state.Sixteenth-century wall paintings in a Buddhist temple in the Tibetan cultural zone of northwest India are the focus of this innovative and richly illustrated study. Initially shaped by one set of religious beliefs, the paintings have since been reinterpreted and retraced by a later Buddhist community, subsumed within its religious framework and communal memory. Melissa Kerin traces the devotional, political, and artistic histories that have influenced the paintings' production and reception over the centuries of their use. Her interdisciplinary approach combines art historical methods with inscriptional translation, ethnographic documentation, and theoretical inquiry to understand religious images in context.
"A meticulous and discerning piece of scholarship, one that is skillful in employing multiple methods--visual, linguistic and ethnographic--to create a fuller picture of a region we knew little about. . . . [A] pleasure to read." --Pika Ghosh, author of Making Kantha, Making Home: Women at Work in Colonial Bengal
"Emphasizing the visual as primary evidence in the study of history, especially religious history, Kerin moves Buddhist art from the arena of museum displays, art markets, and aesthetics to the arena of dynamic interdisciplinary discourse, thus reaffirming the significance of in situ study. . . . Recommended." --Choice
"A forceful study on the specificity of Gyapagpa's painting." --South Asia Research/DESC>
